On Oct. 31, Grand Horizons had a Halloween Dance at the community center, and approximately 40 residents and friends were there to enjoy this evening of entertainment.
A variety of music was played, such as rock, country, traditional and so much more. There were contests, too.
One game included a variety of questions, such as who lived in Grand Horizons the longest, and several others. Of course, there were a number of answers, but one lucky couple from each individual question got the prize.
Each couple brought in a snack to eat and they nibbled on snacks through the night. I understand that there was much fun, laughter, eating and dancing.
The dance was hosted by Gary Wilcox, and he did a fine job.
In addition, they also had several residents dressed up in costumes, such as farmers (this won an award for the scariest costume), and there was also one person dressed up as a hillbilly pimp while his wife was a hooker, and another person as a skeleton, and even a harem. When looking at the dance floor, you see all these costumes, and it was a sight to see.
Then on Nov. 3, they had a pancake breakfast and 60 people were treated to a lovely breakfast. They had pancakes, sausage, orange juice and coffee. This was hosted by Dave and Mary Heim and what a fine job they did, and each helper had a specific job so everything ran smoothly.
On Nov. 6, there was a monthly outing for the lunch bunch. This was hosted by Kathel Bedford, and 11 women enjoyed an afternoon of food, fun and laughter at Chili’s Restaurant.
There was a large variety of main dishes, including fajitas, ribs, burgers, steaks, salads and yummy desserts. We finished our lunch and sat around and talked for a while. It was a lovely afternoon and it wasn’t a big trip home. The waitresses were very nice and accommodating.
