Country Fair Brings Out Family, Friends and Lots of Fun!

Parkway Health Center hosted it's first annual Country Fair this last weekend and I think it is fair to say...WOW! It was AMAZING! We had well over 300 attendees enjoy a wonderful lunch, wagon rides, face painting, a pie eating contest, a beautiful quilt show by award-winning Nina Grimes, fun entertainment and the most popular event....Gold Fish Racing! Residents, Family and Friends enjoyed the beautiful afternoon watching and participating in all of the fun. We could not have asked for better weather after such a sketchy week of rain and snow.

We could not have possibly made this happen without the help of some of our wonderful Home Health and Hospice Agencies.

A Big THANK YOU to Alpine Home Health and Hospice, Freedom Home Health, Summit Home Health and Hospice, Sunbrook Home Health and Hospice and Utah Home Health. These companies made donations for raffle prizes, painted faces and manned booths for us. We really could not have done it without you!!

And what would a Country Fair be without a wagon ride? A special thank you to Derk Palfreyman for bringing the horses and wagon and treating everyone to a wagon ride.

Everyone ooohed and ahhhed over the milk can lunch cooked by our very own Richard Petersen. It was an aboslute treat! Thank you Richard!!

Please enjoy the pictures and let us know what you think! And if you are in the neighborhood, stop by and visit!

PLEASE.....Help us solve this mystery!! (and come to the Country Fair on Saturday!)

I arrived at work this morning to an extremely disturbing sight! SOMEONE had wasted an excessive amount of very valuable, high grade toilet paper to decorate my door. I also received some interesting phone calls last evening asking me if I had Prince Albert in a can. Of course I don't! That would be illegal. Callers also wanted to know if my refrigerator was running! All of this happened in connection with our Resident Slumber Party in celebration of National Nursing Home Week and our First Anniversary!

While this event is worth celebrating...clearly the fun may have gone too far. Those involved in this incident were even brazen enough to leave a picture of themselves....masked of course, to conceal their identity....
If you have ANY information that can help solve this crime, PLEASE call Gena at Parkway, 801-465-9211.....and while you are at it, feel free to pick up some tickets for our Big Country Fair this Saturday 12-3 PM.
