4th of July Celebration

We had are yearly 4th of July celebration. It was a great event we had a full buffet line. Carnival that had tons of fun games that you use to play when you were a child. Such as spin the wheel, lollipop tree, duck pond and more but don't forget the Sno-Cone and Cotton Candy machine.

 

The band, Big Foot Lane came and played throughout the carnival good ole country songs that residents danced along with.

 

 

 Time to cool off!

 

Spin the wheel see what you might of won!

 Even if you don't get the marked tootsie pop you still get to keep the sweet treat you picked from the tree.

Yes, we even had tatoo's to dress everyone else up.

Super Food your Heart Can't live Without

At Garden Way we are so fortunate to have a wonderful nutritionist named Ellen Syverson. She comes and helps residents with any needs or help adjusting there diet.

 She did a wonderful informative presentation for the residents they can not wait for her to return with great feed back.

Do not be fooled by the pictures our movie theatre was jammed full I had to wait till the end to get a picture or two. Which is awesome!!!

 

Memorial Day

 

We started our Memorial Day with a traditional corn husking competition.

 

Thank you American Legion, you put together amazing Flag ceremony for all of us at Garden Way Retirement.

As always a good chat to all the residents and time to hear those brave honorable stories.

 

 

 

A wonderful display put on by Chef Martin and his marvelous crew.

 



Genaration Gap

 

 

We had a special visitor from Trevor and his grandparents. Trevor has been playing since he was six years old! He has learned from hearing only no classes to help him learn, he did it all on his own.

 

 

 

They all love to play the good ole tunes and the residents were all in awe  that such a young gentleman has been able to achieve such a wonderful talent.

 

 

We even had a chance for questions and answers. We all found out that the money he makes for doing these small performance's,he donates to Food for Lane County.

WOW!

He hope he returns when hes back to visit his grandparents.
