On a sunny Saturday, September 30, 2023, Metrocrest Services welcomed over 700 neighbors to celebrate its new home. The 2023 Community Picnic & Resource Fair was a testament to the unity and spirit of the community. The day was filled with laughter and smiles as friends and neighbors gathered together for a morning of fun, food, and education.

The event featured a petting zoo that delighted the little ones, face painting that turned everyone into a work of art, and a bounce house that had kids and adults bouncing with joy. The Dewitt Perry Middle School band and orchestra and the Creekview High School drum line provided remarkable live entertainment that had everyone tapping their feet.

For those looking to stay active, Jazzercise of Carrollton led invigorating exercise sessions that got participants moving and grooving. Additionally, gardeners shared their expertise in the teaching garden, offering valuable tips and insights for cultivating a green thumb.

The Carrollton Farmers Branch Rotary grilled up delicious hot dogs while Kona Ice, provided by Reliant Energy, kept everyone cool and satisfied on a warm Texas day.

“The Community Picnic & Resource Fair was a testament to the unity and strength of our community. It showcased the power of collaboration between local businesses, educational institutions, and Metrocrest Services to create a memorable event that truly celebrated our shared community spirit,” shared Metrocrest Services CEO Tracy Eubanks.

One of the key highlights of the event was the Community Resource Fair. This fair featured numerous local community resources that aimed to empower and uplift the community. Representatives from various organizations were present to share information, answer questions, and provide valuable resources. This made the event not only entertaining but also informative, ensuring that attendees left with more knowledge and support than they came with.

The 2023 Community Picnic & Resource Fair was not just an event but a celebration of the vibrant and thriving community in Metrocrest. It showcased the power of unity, support, and togetherness. As we gathered under the Texas sun, we all experienced the true essence of community.

“Metrocrest Services’ new home and the Grand Opening series of events represent our commitment to creating a thriving community for ALL,” explained Eubanks. “The Community Picnic & Resource Fair was the perfect culmination of this journey. We are grateful to all the sponsors, volunteers, and community members who made this event a resounding success. We look forward to many more such gatherings that will continue to strengthen neighborhood bonds and enrich lives.”
