Taco Trivia Night
2023-06-24 17:00 - 20:00 | Middle Deck
Are you a fanatic for fun facts? Assemble your dream team and head down to the pool to show off those trivia skills. Questions will span a wide variety of categories: from Elvis to Olivia Rodrigue, from Kahlo to Feynman, from Patton to Zelenskyy, and from the Scoville scale to the Richter scale so multigenerational teams whose players have wide interests may have an edge. If you don’t have a team, come down anyway and we’ll do our best to match you with another partner or two. Trivia battle will start at 6 pm. Teams can be 2-4 players of any age (max on any team is 4). The Grand Prize winning team will win free tickets to the Fall Pig Roast.
It’s no fun playing on an empty stomach so, of course, tacos will be served! We will offer a beef, chicken and vegetarian taco bar with Mexican rice, coleslaw, plus all the toppings, including Laura’s famous homemade guacamole.

Volunteer Interest Meeting
2024-04-06 15:00 - 17:00 | Middle Deck
Do you love the events at Holmes Run Pool? Help make sure they continue to be offered!
Holmes Run Pool is a member owned organization. It is what it is today because of the amazing heart that members have put into it over the years. You too can help make a difference!
We host many social activities for our community ranging from casual events like movie nights and steak nights to annual special events like our Midsummer Gala & Crab Feast and Fall Party & Pig Roast. We also coordinate weekly Food Trucks. It takes many hands and planners to make these events happen. Our Activities chair is seeking committee members to help plan, host, and help at this season’s events. Hosts receive a small perk in exchange for their time (event ticket or complimentary guest passes, depending on the event) and it is also wonderful way to get to know other members.
Fill out our Volunteer Interest Form and attend the Volunteer Interest Meeting on Saturday, April 6 from 3 pm to 5 pm to get involved.
