Our Fall Festival at Gracewood in North Branch had a great turnout.   Residents, families and friends enjoyed a lunch of pulled pork, baked potato soup, caesar salad and a delicious pumpkin crisp dessert.  Toe tapping music was provided by The Reminisce Band.  There were games, door prizes, and lots of candy for the kids.

Halloween Day the local daycare brought 18 little people dressed up in customs to visit with the residents.  There were lots of smiles when the children sang and walked around and greeted all the residents.

Gracewood of Hugo-Read Stories

Gracewood of Hugo has been fortunate to have the librarian from the Forest Lake library read stories to the residents once a month.  During her first visit, she read stories from a Minnesota author.  The residents recognized the familiar places in Minnesota.  In October, she read the story of Ichabod Crane.  We all gathered around the fireplace together as she read the spooky legend of sleepy hollow.
