Seniors enjoy the fair

On Thursday, Mission at Castle Rock Rehabilitation Center and Villa residents visited Wyoming’s Big Show.

While at the fair, 11 residents had the chance to feed and pet the animals at the petting zoo.

With so many sights to see, the residents were busy and tired by the end of the four-and-a-half hour trip.

They spent time looking at all the fair exhibits, watching some of the Big Show’s entertainers and shopping at the booths. They took breaks for lunch and snacks.

Without the help of 19 volunteers and the employees of Mission at Castle Rock this fair visit would not have been possible.

Social Services Director Marilyn Dockter said the volunteers and employees helped push wheel-chair bound residents around the fair. They also assisted the residents with any personal needs.

This is a great way for residents to socialize while enjoying the sights and sounds of the fair.
