| THE COLONY NEWS | MAY 2024 | 35
By Valorie Hillerich
A crowd of about 200 people gathered together on the morning
of April 8 to view the spectacular solar eclipse. Live music, food,
and adult beverages helped residents capture and enjoy the
moment as we came together on the golf course pad.
Kari Baldridge told me, "This is what The Colony is all about!
Who knew an eclipse party could be so much fun?!" Kathy
Schilling was just hanging out with her friends and enjoying
the moment. Tyler Pratt said, "Lots of sunshine and lots of good
friends. Social time should always be a part of your life." And
Laurie Freres decided that this was just another good reason for a
Colony party. It looks like everyone would agree with her!
