We’re excited to share that the March issue of 𝐇𝐞𝐥𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐬 𝐍𝐞𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐛𝐨𝐫𝐬 Magazine is hitting residents’ mailboxes this week! We love sharing stories of some fabulous folks living their best lives in Helotes, Texas. 😍

At the heart of this magazine each month are the local families we feature. This month we highlight the Davis Family, a dynamic team that embodies the spirit of hard work, community engagement and entrepreneurial drive. Eric and Hailey Davis, along with their two children, are not only the proud owners of Davis Pools, but they are also deeply involved in the growth and development of Helotes. Together, they’re creating a legacy of both business success and community contribution that’s making an impact far beyond their family-owned pool business.

If you’re a local business interested in reaching this community with your service or product, please reach out to us for a quick chat. Thanks, y’all! 🤠

In the heart of West Texas, Dylan and Paige Homen have found their own version of Oz. Like Dorothy in the classic film, they've discovered that there truly is no place like home. After a brief sojourn in Kentucky, this Lubbock-born couple has returned to their roots, embracing the warmth and community spirit of the Hub City. Dylan and Paige are high school sweethearts whose romance blossomed in the halls of Lubbock Cooper High School. Today, they are proud parents to three beautiful children. 😍

These are the positive, family-friendly stories we feature every month in 𝐋𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐑𝐢𝐝𝐠𝐞 & 𝐎𝐫𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐝 𝐏𝐚𝐫𝐤 𝐍𝐞𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐛𝐨𝐫𝐬 𝐌𝐚𝐠𝐚𝐳𝐢𝐧𝐞! So excited that the November issue is reaching resident mailboxes this week. 🚀 If you know anyone who lives in this area of Lubbock who would make a great feature story, please drop me a line! 👍

And if you’re a business owner who would love to reach the residents of this affluent area with your product or service, please reach out to Meredith McArdle Keller for all the details.
