2013-07-30 06:13:21 PM slf0038 Transportation is always a problem. We can only take 5 at a time. The residents fight over who gets to go.

2013-07-30 06:14:17 PM cmzeitler we are at their mercy- they are always late, but right on time for pickup and if your not there waiting they leave in 10 minutes

2013-07-30 06:14:56 PM hreif2013 Right now, the residents are really liking hangman
2013-07-30 06:15:07 PM cryshd it was jess8299's idea, but I love it sooo much!
2013-07-30 06:15:08 PM kathyhughes We made a ton for prizes at our carnival
2013-07-30 06:15:18 PM 091190 4H kids are good to contact for that

2013-07-30 06:16:36 PM chastity88 enter the chat room

2013-07-30 06:16:47 PM kdillon we always have a lot of folks intersted in going to the fair, but each one needs someone to push them, therefore we need to take wheel chairs for everyone. Special diets are always a problem when we go there too
2013-07-30 06:16:48 PM krkurth ooo i wish we had a facility animal!
2013-07-30 06:16:53 PM panderson62 we made the tiisue paper flowers also i love that craft

2013-07-30 06:16:58 PM kathyhughes I video taped our state fair ffor the residents way back when
2013-07-30 06:17:02 PM meister77 we made tissue paper flowers (big ones ) for prizes

2013-07-30 06:17:57 PM slf0038 The cats are a big hit. We have on the general area, and one on our Alzheimers unit. The only problem is the residents keep wanting to feed them. ha ha
