On Saturday, I once again was a member of the Lucky Dog BBQ Team as we held a Resident Appreciation Day at the Arrowhead Ranch MHC in Campbellsville, KY. My friend Brad Simmons, purveyor of the best barbeque in Kentucky was on-site at around 3AM to get things rolling. We served Pulled Pork, Beef Brisket, Smoked Chicken, Polish Sausages, Wicked Beans and Cole Slaw to a crowd of around 50.

There was a bounce house for the kids, games for adults and a drawing for prizes ranging from sports equipment to Wal-Mart gift certificates to a brand new bicycle for one winner. Every kid in attendance received a certificate for free ice cream from Baskin-Robbins.

This is the third annual Resident Appreciation Day and they seem to enjoy them more and more. Everybody had a great time Several residents were heard to say “This is one of the reasons I’ll be here until the day I die.”

If you’re not doing this type of promotion in your communities, I have to ask “Why not?” The goodwill and resident loyalty such events engender is well worth the expense. Start planning yours now.
