2011 Kiowa County Fair Parade

One of the munchkins is helping the lion get ready for the parade.



The tin man is getting all dressed up, with a little help from scarecrow.




One of our munchkins.






We sure do look good. 
Our staff members, Pam, Crystal, Erica, Brandy and residents Lois and Betty had so much fun,
they can't wait to do it again.
We couldn't have pulled it all together without the help of staff member Roxi - the awesome coordinator, Roxi's daughter - the lion, and Pam's sister - another munchkin, and last but not least, Erica's son - the tin man.  Kudos also for Veronique and Maria for their, very much appreciated, artistic contributions.

 



Hum, it looks like we lost a munchkin and the tin man took over the wheelchair.



We were glad the portable CD player worked;
we walked the entire parade route listening to the soundtrack from the Wizard of OZ movie.  How fun!!



Afterward we visited with old friends at the nursing home. 
And a good time was had by all.



Kit Carson Days - Melodrama 2011

The cast was awesome!   Big talent on a small stage.  Wow!

We got to see our old friend, Yvonne.

   

A melodrama isn't complete without the pianist.

The residents sure enjoyed their night out on the town.  

Thanks for inviting us, and thanks to the Kiowa County Transit for getting us there.

Down East Boys - Southern Gospel - August 2011

 

  Prairie Pines wishes to thank Jimmy and Amanda Brown for treating the residents and the community to a fun-filled night of uplifting gospel music and good food.

It's always hard to pick just one dessert.

Pam, one of our staff members, 

had the pleasure of posing for pictures

with the Down East Boys gospel quartet.

Summer 2011

Pastor Jason Young treated us to a sing-a-long,  We love hearing him play his guitar.     Thank you, Jason.

Dorothy and Betty enjoy the fresh air and sunshine.

Dorothy's watching the flowers grow.

Bunnie, Harold, Juanita and Lois were feeding the birds, until I came out with the camera and they all flew away.
