The HOA Board at Blakeney Greens hopes that everyone will have a wonderful and safe 4th of July weekend. If you are going to the pool, please be mindful and courteous to others and keep a watchful eye on children in and out of the pool. Please have fun, but remember the pool rules and make it a safe holiday weekend. The pool rules can be found on http://www.blakeneygreens.org/ under "documents".

Also a reminder about fireworks. Please keep them away from small children.  Please also remember the area is very dry and fires could start easily. We remind you of the State of North Carolina laws as well as the Blakeney Greens CCRs that state the following:

What fireworks are legal in North Carolina?
Fireworks that are legal in this state include poppers, sparklers, fountains and novelty items that don't explode, spin, leave the ground or fly through the air. The Charlotte fire department issued this list as examples of legal fireworks: snake and glow worms, smoke devices, noisemakers like snappers and string poppers and wire sparklers. There's a common misconception that all fireworks are legal on holidays like July 4. That's not true, though. The same laws still hold true all year. Also, the city of Charlotte abides by the same rules as the rest of the state.

What fireworks are illegal in North Carolina?
There are certain fireworks that are illegal to possess in this state. That includes firecrackers, fireworks that spin on the ground, roman candles, bottle rockets, and any aerial fireworks. Essentially, any firework that leaves the ground is not legal in North Carolina.

“C” 2 – Restricted Activities. The following activities are prohibited within Blakeney Greens unless expressly authorized by, and then subject to such conditions as maybe imposed by, the Board of Directors:
