Do you know a neighbor who can fix your windshield, walk your dog, or bake your birthday cake? Bent Grass is home to a growing number of resident-owned businesses, and we've created a new page to help neighbors find and support each other.
We are building a Neighbor-Owned Businesses page! This webpage is a free directory to help neighbors find and support each other. Own a business, live in the neighborhood, and want to be listed? Contact us! These are not endorsements, just neighbors helping neighbors.

To every neighbor who came out on Saturday: thank you. You showed up and turned a regular summer day into the best afternoon our neighborhood has had all summer. Between the bubbles, games, the line at the face-painting table, and the world's most enthusiastic water war, it was such a wonderful time!
Together, we raised $270 for wildfire relief through our raffle. Every ticket bought went toward helping families recover from the Aspen Fire, through United Way of Southern Colorado. That's our little neighborhood making a real difference for another community — thank you for digging into your pockets.
To our vendors and sponsors — thank you for feeding us, treating us, and stocking our prize table with real generosity: HipPOPs, Los Tres Perros, Firehouse Subs, Walmart, Slim Chickens, and Swirly Cow Frozen Yogurt. Small businesses saying yes to a neighborhood event is never a small thing, and we hope you'll show them some love with your business in return.
To the crews of Falcon Fire Station 3 — thank you for spending your on-duty afternoon with us, opening up the engine and ambulance for tours, and patiently answering our kid's questions. Your time and kindness left a big impression!
And to our volunteers — the neighbors who planned for months, set up early in the morning, ran the stations, and tore it all down after — this event exists because of you.
We can't wait to do it again next summer. Until then, send us your Summer Bash photos to upload to the neighborhood Gallery!
With gratitude, Your Bent Grass Summer Bash volunteer crew
