Trails Still Closed to Vehicles
Trails remain closed to all vehicles due to saturation.  The sun this weekend is deceptive.  It will serve to begin drying the trails but they are still not appropriate for vehicular travel.  Vehicles causing damage may be liable for repair costs.

Presidents Day
The Nellie Gail Ranch Association Office will be closed on Monday, February 19, 2024 in observance of Presidents Day.

The Tennis & Swim Center will have normal hours 6:00am – 10:00pm.
President Day Fun FactPresidents’ Day never falls on the actual birthday of any American president. Four chief executives—George Washington, William Henry Harrison, Abraham Lincoln and Ronald Reagan—were born in February, but their birthdays all come either too early or late to coincide with Presidents’ Day, which is always celebrated on the third Monday of the month. (See history.com for more Presidents’ Day information)

Trails Closed Due to Rain

Valentine’s Day Dinner at The Watering Hole
Formation of Historical Committee
At the January 16th meeting the Board approved formation of a Historical Committee pending applications and February 20, 2024 appointment.  As Nellie Gail Ranch moves into its 48th year we want to gather  information and details on Nellie Gail Ranch milestones and significant events.  When was the first home built, what did Nellie Gail Ranch look like at the start of 1980, 1990, 2000, 2010 and 2020?  Can we capture some living history interviews with some of our original homeowners?  The opportunities are endless for volunteers interested in digging into our Nellie Gail Ranch heritage.  A potential outcome of the Committee may be a community presentation and/or photo collection.  If you are interested in volunteering for the Historical Committee please return an application by clicking the button below.
