Cinco de Mayo Pronto!

Cinco de Mayo Pronto – Sat, Apr 29th

Please forgive the mistranslation and the misinformation, but this month Johnson City Families will gather on Saturday, April 29th for an early celebration of Mexican Independence a week early… or just a good excuse for some Mexican food and games! Your family is welcome to join us once again under the big tent at Steele Haven to celebrate and grow our faith, families, friendships and fun. Please take a moment to signup for two or more slots so that we have a good mix of food for the occasion.

Make sure to label your dish if it is gluten/dairy/gluten-dairy free and if it contains nuts and bring serving utensils. Healthy drinks and cold water will be available along with paper plates, bowls, and eating utensils. Several benches and tables will be available as well as an assortment of lawn chairs, but you are encouraged to bring yours. There is plenty of shade so canopies are not needed. We will have limited power and chafing dishes available to help keep food warm and a start time a bit closer to dinner this time around.

Directions

311 Brandonwood Dr.

Johnson City, TN 37604

Date & Time

Sat, Apr 29th, 4:00 – 9:00

Our events are located in the meadow at Steele Haven under the big event tent located there. Parking is designated and visitors are strongly encouraged not to park along the road, along the driveway, or in the bottom land near the creek.

The event will start at 4:00 with games and some organized (and disorganized!) sports for children of all ages and parents can join in if they like. Feel free to arrive early to help setup or to meet others, but everyone attending should plan to arrive by 5:30 as we will give thanks for our food and eat at that time. More activities are planned at 6:30 and the bonfire will be lit at 7:00 and burn into the night.

Remember to RSVP and signup to bring food if you know you are coming.

Rules & Regulations

This event is intended to be family-friendly and Jesus-honoring. And while we make no judgement about their use, we ask that you bring no alcohol or drugs and that no minors may carry or use firearms or weapons (sorry boys, those sheath knives have to stay at home). The event and all attendees are required to stay in the meadow and are not permitted to go up to the barn or the main houses or into the woods or on the train tracks. The boundary of our property is the driveway and guests are asked to remain on the east side at all times. There is an historic cemetery on the property and attendees are encouraged to respectfully view the headstones and the history that they tell. You can play in the creek, but there is no garden hose available to clean you up. A portable toilet will be available so boys, please don’t go off to pee in the woods. All children should strive to be gentlemen and ladies towards one another and parents are encouraged to chaperone any children at the event as though they were their own.

Invite Other Families

We are sure that there are other wonderful families who share our common faith in Jesus and desire to grow healthy families together, so please feel free to invite a family to join you. If we see that we have filled all of our signup slots for food, we’ll add more!
