A Day on the Farm

Juniper Village had a day on the farm with Granny's Ark petting zoo from Waterford!  They came in to visit with some of their furry and not so furry friends. Some of the creatures they brought included a 9 wk old baby calf, a miniature pony, some baby ducks, geese and rabbits as well as a 25 yr old tortoise. Both the residents and the preschool class of the YMCA enjoyed the activity. 

As we focused this quarter on "Letting Wellbeing Thrive", we discovered that spending time with our friendly farm animals was a truly nurturing, "back to basics" type of event for many of our Residents who hail from the beautiful farmlands of Northwestern PA.  For those "City Folk", it proved to be just as rewarding in an adventurous type of way!   We hope to see you all at our Friends and Family Annual Picnic on August 20th from 11:30am to 3pm!  It is a safari themed event and there will be a Giraffe T-Shirt give away you won't want to miss.
