Community offers fun events, prizes in ‘Elyson Takes Flight’ spring celebration
Elyson, a new community in the Katy Independent School District, is celebrating spring with a series of free events featuring bounce houses, outdoor movies, a butterfly release and more.
During each event, visitors can register to win a free $500 Southwest Airlines gift card. (No purchase is necessary. Entry forms are readily available and each entry has an equal chance of winning.)
Home shoppers can receive a free $10 gift card to Elyson’s Rorick Kitchen cafe after visiting the Model Home Village, showcasing new homes priced from the mid $200,000s to $600,000s.
Entry forms and rules for the gift card giveaways are readily available at Rorick House, the focal point of all fun spring activities at Elyson.
The fun starts on Saturday, March 4, with “Up, Up & Away” from 2-6 p.m. Activities include bounce houses, a giant slide and an inflatable obstacle course. There will also be balloon artists, face painters and crafts.
After 6 p.m., visitors are invited to stay for s’mores on the patio and an outdoor screening of “Up.” Rorick Kitchen will be open late for dinner orders including such things as pizza, burgers and salads.
On Saturday, April 8, Elyson presents “Float Like a Butterfly,” featuring the colorful spectacle of the Austin Butterfly Bike Zoo, along with stilt walkers, a butterfly release and flower pot decorating.
On Saturday, May 6, the series ends with “Let’s Go Fly a Kite,” featuring performances by the Houston Disc Dogs, kite giveaways, kite-themed crafts and a rock wall.
These events celebrate nature and springtime at Elyson, which will devote more than 750 acres of its master plan to parks, trails, recreation centers and natural open spaces.
Elyson is at Grand Parkway and FM 529, approximately midway between I-10 west and U.S. 290 west. For information, visit www.Elyson.com.
