Annual Harvest Party

What an incredible celebration our Annual Harvest Party turned out to be on October 27th!  The event brought boundless joy and laughter to residents and their families, leaving everyone in high spirits. This year\’s Harvest Party was a seamless blend of engaging activities and heartwarming moments that created memories to last a lifetime.

The festivities began with an explosion of energy as residents paraded in their vibrant costumes, immersing themselves in the enchanting atmosphere. Their faces lit up with delight as they eagerly explored the intricately crafted pumpkin displays that adorned our hospital grounds. Laughter and joy filled the air, creating a truly infectious atmosphere of happiness. The trunk or treat extravaganza added an extra layer of excitement, as little ones gleefully collected treats and goodies from car to car, their eyes sparkling with pure delight. 

At the heart of the event were spirited contests that brought out the best in creativity and camaraderie. From a sizzling chili cook-off to epic costume contests, the day was filled with opportunities for residents and their families to showcase their talents and, most importantly, to have a blast. The ultimate pumpkin showdown and the most imaginative trunk or treats further added to the festive spirit. 

Julie, our exceptionally skilled Recreational Therapist, emerged as a shining star of the day. Her exceptional talent and dedication were on full display. Not only did she claim the title of Chili #1 in the cook-off, but she also secured an impressive victory in the trunk or treat contest with her awe-inspiring Star Wars-themed display.  Julie\’s remarkable double-win was a testament to her extraordinary creativity and culinary prowess, leaving residents and families alike in awe.

The costume contests were a visual feast, as residents and their families donned their finest ensembles, each one more imaginative than the last. The Best Children\’s Costume award rightfully went to the adorable Marilyn, who brought the iconic Barbie to life with impeccable style.  Meanwhile, Harmony, one of our talented RTs, earned the Best Adult Costume award by enchanting everyone as a mesmerizing jellyfish, complementing the RT department\’s stunning Little Mermaid-themed pumpkin display. 

And let\’s not forget the coveted Best Pumpkin Contest, which was won by the Acute Nursing staff with their amazing Minions-themed pumpkin display. Their creativity and teamwork shone through, adding another layer of magic to the event.

A heartfelt thank you goes out to all staff for their dedication and hard work in making this event possible. Your contributions made the day truly special. A special shoutout is also extended to the Child Development Team for their exceptional coordination of the event.
