ALACHUA – Alachua’s Swick House came alive Sunday evening as Color Me Culture hosted its latest community gathering, the “Color Me Cookout,” offering grilled hot dogs and hamburgers, a live DJ and emcee, a spades tournament, and a lively round of hip-hop and R&B bingo.
The event drew a diverse crowd of local adults and seniors eager to enjoy an evening of food, games, and shared connection. It is part of Color Me Culture’s quarterly initiative to bring residents together through creative programming designed to enrich the city’s social fabric.
Each quarter, the organization will provide an event for local adults that can hold space through arts, games, and laughter.
Founded on the belief that strong communities are built through engagement and shared experiences, Color Me Culture focuses on fostering connection through accessible, inclusive events. The organization places particular emphasis on creating welcoming spaces for older adults who may otherwise feel socially isolated.
The evening's events blended friendly competition and cultural appreciation, with spades games drawing spirited groups and bingo rounds set to hip-hop and R&B hits sparking nostalgic energy. Guests also enjoyed relaxed conversation and time to socialize over food and music.
All funds raised at Color Me Culture events are reinvested into the Alachua community to support future programming and outreach.
The next gathering is scheduled for the fall. For more information, please connect with Tabitha at colormeculture386@gmail.com.
In the meantime, residents can also mark their calendars for the annual Alachua Police Department Back 2 School Giveaway, taking place this Saturday from 9 a.m. to noon at the Legacy Multipurpose Center during the Just Between Friends event.
