The smell of sweet success wafted through Rio Nido during the weekend of July 17th and 18th, as neighbors and visitors enjoyed Saturday evening’s Marshmallow Roast followed by Sunday morning’s Pancake Breakfast. Luckily, Susie Merkell kept the Pee Wee Mini Golf open for both events so kids could channel their sugar rushes while adults worked off all the calories consumed!
Nearly 20 kids gathered at 7pm to roast marshmallows, make s’mores, and watch Pink Panther cartoons on the big screen. Sponsored by the RNHOA and organized by Domenic and Suzanne Farnocchia, a fun time was had kids and adults alike. The next morning from 9am-noon, neighbors sat down to the RNHOA’s delicious, hearty pancake breakfast with scrambled eggs, pancakes, sausages, orange juice, and coffee. Those inclined (& over 21) could also indulge in a bloody mary, ramos fizz, champagne mimosa and other yummy drinks.
Don’t miss the next Pancake Breakfast (followed by the Rio Nido Art Show with face painting for the kids) on Sunday August 8th!
