Wow. Summer is almost over. Kids are back in school. But the seniors still get to have adventures. Fall is a time for outdoor fun and our next four activities involve some time outside.
On Friday, September 13, we will head up the River road to Pere Marquette for a fabulous fried chicken family style lunch at 10 am. Everyone will get 2 pieces of chicken, and family style mashed potatoes, gravy, cole slaw and corn. Your lunch price will include a drink of tea or coffee and dessert. The price will include tax and tip and should be around $20.
After lunch, you can go for a walk, sit outside and play games or cards, or just sit and watch the river roll by. Sign-up in the connection center.
On Thursday, September 26, we will go to Rainbow ranch at 10 am. Rainbow Ranch is a 170 year old farm in Nashville, IL. They have llama, alpacas, donkeys, sheep, goats, deer, potbelly pigs, peacocks, ducks, horses, a zebra, a zedonk and even camels and kangaroos. You know you want to pet them! I have contacted them and we will either have lunch first or the tour first. If you’re an animal lover, this trip is for you. The cost of the farm is $15/person plus your lunch.
The Senior Council has planned the following activities for the last quarter of the year. Mark your calendars.
Monday, October 14, Grants Farm
Monday, October 28, Summit Farm Market in Kirkwood and Billy G’s.
