October in Review October had gone back and forth between the rain and the snow but as the days get shorter and darker, winter has finally arrived.

Residents kicked off October by voting in the local elections with a little help from the Women’s League of Voters.

We got into the Halloween spirit by decorating, setting up the Halloween Tunnel, Halloween games, and traditional pumpkin carving.

We had some familiar faces and new visitors come to the home in October. Eielson Youth Leadership came back to visit on October 5th.

Emily, the youth fiddler, made her debut and entertained our residents on October 10th and October 17th.

First Baptist Youth group hosted Bingo for our residents on October 19th.

Elvis Live shook us all up and adorned us with scarves on October 24th.

On October 25th Arctic Explorers Pre-K visited, all in full costume, to deliver some tricks but mostly treats to residents for a ‘reverse trick or treat’ event.
