 Hi from ceramics class!

Halloween Party!

A spooky time was had at Country View's Halloween party!! The theme was skeletons and witches. The activity room was the witches lair and skeletons were lurking around every corner. Everyone had great costumes, it was fun to see what everyone came up with! The food was outstanding, thanks to all that brought a dish! We had a pumpkin contest, a guess the M&M's in the jar contest, pumpkin decorating, a costume contest and a special event - Halloween Fear Factor!! This even included real chocolate covered insects just like the TV show! It was funny to watch, great job to Feleicia, Bill and Curtis for being good sports AND for eating the insects! We'd also like to thank the costume contest judges, Carol, Dimetria and Theo! Hope to see you next year.... if you dare!!

 Getting the panels laid out to tie together.

 Almost done! Now we just have to add photos!

Karaoke!

We decided to have an impromptu Karaoke session today on our new Karaoke machine! We were singing hits from the 60's, 80's and even threw in a little Katy Perry from now! A lot of the residents love music and know every word so they really do enjoy Karaoke days!

 

 Here's Marion singing Pretty Woman.

 Donnie and David singing some songs from the 60's.
