RANCH AT BRUSHY CREEK

Give Dad Something He’ll Really Enjoy This Holiday Season.

FREE Delivery & Setup!

No Ties or Belts This Year. Give Dad something that shows him how much he’s appreciated – a new grill. Our grills are built to last a lifetime, easy to use and guaranteed to bring him years of enjoyment, whether he’s an occasional or seasoned griller.

We call them a “grill”, but they’re really three gifts in one; a grill, a smoker and an oven all rolled into one. Dad can cook everything from mouth-watering pizza to sizzling seared steaks.

Our grills also carry a significant “wow factor”, so he’s sure to be the envy of all the other Dads in the neighborhood. Score.

Let Dad know he’s special this Christmas: get him a new BIG JOE!

TOUR OF LIGHTS @ THE RANCH!!

Ho Ho Ho...Merry Christmas! It’s that time of year for our annual Tour of Lights. We will be celebrating the festive season together as a community on Dec 8th from 6-8pm at the park on the corner of Remington and Brangus.

We will have 4 hayrides driving touring through the RBC looking

at the most decorated houses, traditional Christmas music being performed by Lou Ontko, hot cocoa and cider being donated and served by Bellinis and hot coffee being generously donated and served by our very own neighbors from Roasters Coffee Cafe. We will have homemade cookies to share baked

by our own residents. It’s going to be a Jolly good time because Santa will also be making an appearance!

FALL FESTIVAL

2013

RANCH AT BRUSHY CREEK

Fall Festival was a huge success thanks to everyone who came out and enjoyed the activities! The costume parade was magnificent with winners taking home prizes like FroYoz gift cards, Build-A-Bear gift card, Jumpstreet passes, Cinemark movie tickets, and the grand prize for the group costume category, a swimming birthday party provided by the incredibly generous Emler Swim School! The pie auction raised $145 for the WilCo Animal Shelter Jane’s Fund! Our Sidewalk of Shopping was bursting with more than 20 booths of local business owners and service providers, each with a smile on their face and most with drawings, samples, or give-aways! The Best Wurst fired up their sandwich cart and the air was rich with smoked meats, grilled onions, and sauerkraut, and the line for food was ever present. And, with the amazing melodies of Wildewood playing on the music stage the whole event was a true cornucopia of opportunities to enjoy oneself. We greatly look forward to next year!
