Each department head switched to a different area for the day. The residents had lots of fun keeping up with them and pulling off a few jokes on them. Meanwhile the residents swapped jobs also. The ladies were kept busy doing some woodworking while the men tried to do some baking. Another fun day was on Friday June 23, with our Kiss a Pig Con- test. Approximately $300.00 was raised for the Alzheimers Socie- ty by residents and staff kissing a cute little pig. A special thank you to Fred Balling for supplying the pigs. The longest kiss prize was tied for by B. Barry and O. Gill. Mr. Ossie Gill alsoraised the most money with bringing in $112.00 in pledges. We also had the privilege of having some students from the Catholic School come in to sing us a few songs. Throughout the evening was our Pork Party. This symbolized the end of Nursing Home Week. Great entertainment was provid- ed by the Golden Slippers. After having a much needed rest over the weekend we started back on Monday June 26 with an exciting bowling match. The top scoring position was tied for with 106 pts. by B. Ayers & L. Blaikie. Afterwards the treat wagon delivered popsicle treats to everyone.
