April Is Blooming with Springtime Fun

Spring brings a sense of renewal each year and along with it — at least in Johnson communities — fields of fun. And this year, it’s not only residents hopping on board this springtime fervor; several events are open to the public. Here are some April activities you don’t want to miss: 

Things are Hopping at Grand Central Park

“B-4” your April calendar fills up, you’ll want to set aside a day or two to visit Grand Central Park in Conroe during its Spring Into Bingo Home Tour. Throughout April, prospective homebuyers can pick up a Bingo card at The Finding Place, 750 Grand Central Parkway in Conroe, or any of the community's five model homes and then mark off spots on their card to play. If you achieve Bingo and bring the card back to The Finding Place, you’ll be entered into a drawing for a $1,000 Kroger gift card.

Saturday, April 4, will be an excellent day to visit — especially if you like to shop local artisans. The Bunny Hop Artisan Market will be from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., offering not only locally crafted gift items and food, but also photos with the Easter Bunny and kids Easter baskets (while supplies last).

Return 6-8 p.m. Friday, April 10, for Lakeside Live, an open-air concert at The Lake House, 1039 Lake House Drive. Food trucks will be on hand with tasty street eats, and fun giveaways will happen throughout the evening.

Homegrown goodness will be available 9 a.m. to noon Saturday, April 18, during the Farm & Foundry market at Legends Point, 26850 Trailblazers Run. Browse a curated selection of crafts, art, home décor, and specialty foods.

An ‘Aah-some’ April at Jubilee

Right in line with its commitment to wellness, Jubilee in Hockley has two April events that will leave participants refreshed and recharged. Instructor Jessica Garcia of Chandra Yoga will lead Yoga on the Lawn at 9 a.m. Sunday, April 4 at 26134 Happy Home Street. The session will include pranayama, asanas, and a sound bath meditation focused on strengthening, balancing, stretching, and mindfulness.

Waves of sound will wash over Jubilee once a month, leading to a calmer mind and healthier body at Jubilee 9 a.m. Saturday, April 18, during a beginner-friendly Soundbath and Breathwork Class at the Joy Hub Recreation Center, 16818 Cheerful Trail. Attendees will learn how to shift their perspective toward positivity with breathwork and soothing sounds.

Flowers, Fun, and Bargains at Grange
