The weather didn’t dampen the spirits of the staff of Gracewood as they volunteered for The Tour De Hugo. They stationed a water stop and offered snacks and water to the 50 and 70 mile bike riders. They also cheered for the bike riders and rang cowbells as the riders were approaching the station.
Fun was had by all ages at the fifth annual Gracewood Carnival in Hugo. The carnival had games, face painting, photo booth, entertainment, and refreshments. New to the carnival this year was a fish game. Our fish expert, Joel, set up the game and supplied the fish. Carnival goers of all ages went home with a Betta fish in a bowl. Also new to the carnival was a cotton candy machine. Everyone enjoyed the sweet, sticky treat. The entertainment this year was Keri Sutter. She sang some tunes that everyone was familiar with.

Plant The Seed
Community. Fighting hunger. Servant leadership. At White Pine, Gracewood, & Comforts of Home Senior Living, our vision is to serve our residents and families and to serve them better than anywhere else. One way we do that is through our Plant the Seed program. This program was created to transform the hearts of those we touch. From our surrounding communities, to our residents and our staff. We believe that through kindness and generosity, we have the opportunity to plant seeds in individuals that will provide them with a sense of hope and love. From our gardens, our residents and staff, pick a variety of fresh vegetables and donate a portion of our harvest to local food shelves.
Residents at Gracewood in North Branch played a great game of Balloon Ball. Hazel teaches our newest resident Leon how to play and they had a great time.
We all had a great time today when The Showtime Girls entertained us with beautiful costumes, favorite old songs and dancing! What a great way to get the day going than having these beautiful ladies here to entertain us!!
We’ve been having an amazing summer including a grand time at our annual Luau! Pork Sliders, Fruit Kabobs and Pina Colada Smoothies were some of the treats we enjoyed. We were being entertained by Tati, our Hawaiian performer who had a beautiful voice and a great sense of humor! Volunteers helped us to make this amazing event. How blessed we are to have them here! With Autumn coming quickly we are excited for the events that come with the season, including a visit from Shelly’s Ponies and an Oktober Fest. What a wonderful season we will be celebrating!
The Garden is doing great. We are harvesting so much that can feed the whole campus at White Pine.
This will be great to give a friend at White Pine in Blaine to make us some zucchini cake.
