On Sunday, October 16, smiling faces gathered under sunny
skies to raise over $2,000 for the Alzheimer’s Association! For the eighth
consecutive year, Juniper Village at Brookline hosted the Fall Festival at
Harner Farm, with all proceeds benefiting the local Walk to End Alzheimer’s.
The Fall Festival had something for everyone to enjoy. Most
popular was the gigantic corn maze, where people of all ages dared to navigate
their way through intricate pathways of cornstalks stretching eight feet high.
Face and hair painting were other popular activities, where kids were
transformed into sweet kitty cats and scary skeletons! Game stations featured
over ten options, from the Ghost Tower to the Pumpkin Float.
And what festival would be complete without food? Penny
Jeffries from Juniper’s Wellspring Memory Care building cooked up steaming
kettles of her famous autumn vegetable and ham and bean soups. The menu also
featured juicy hot dogs on the grill and fresh, cheesy pizzas donated by Pizza
Mia in State College. And Juniper employees and residents showcased their
confectionery skills for the bake sale, with offerings such as homemade
cheesecakes, apple pies, and Halloween bark!
Thank you to everyone who helped to make the Fall Festival a
wonderful success, and for your support of the Alzheimer’s Association!
