At Green Valley Custom Builders, we believe that strong communities are built not just with homes but with heart, connection, and shared experiences. That’s why we were thrilled to participate in the 2024 McLean Youth Soccer (MYS) Fall Festival, held on October 19 at Spring Hill Elementary School. This annual celebration brought together families, laughter, and soccer in a fun-filled day we’ll cherish for years to come.
A Celebration of Fun, Soccer, and Connection
The MYS Fall Festival was a vibrant, joy-filled gathering that brought the community together in meaningful ways. Families and soccer enthusiasts enjoyed an afternoon filled with exciting activities, including colorful face painting, bouncy inflatables, and the delectable offerings of local food trucks—highlighted by the famous Leidos Ice Cream truck.
The festival wasn’t just about the activities—it was about creating memories. The laughter of children, the shared excitement of soccer fans, and the lively conversations of neighbors showcased the spirit of connection that defines this event.
Special Guests: A Feathered Star
A standout moment of the day was the appearance of Penelope Kix, the charismatic mascot of the Washington Spirit. Penelope’s lively energy brought smiles to everyone she met, from posing for photos to mingling with young soccer fans. Her presence added a touch of magic, leaving attendees with memories to treasure.
Looking Ahead: Building Memories On and Off the Field
The MYS Fall Festival was a powerful reminder of the unifying role that soccer—and events like these—play in fostering connection and community. Green Valley Custom Builders is proud to support opportunities that bring people together, strengthen relationships, and create lasting memories.
Whether on the soccer field or in the homes we build, our mission remains the same: to enrich lives through connection and shared experiences. Let’s keep building memories—on and off the field!
