From Sea to Shining Sea! - Christmas Carousel Party set for Dec. 17

By Sarah Duggan on November 21, 2014

Grab a date and get signed up for the 2014 Christmas Carousel, a holiday party for independent living residents and Passport members! This year’s theme is Postcard Christmas USA and between 4 and 7 p.m. Wednesday, Dec. 17, you’ll be traveling across America to five different cities and states – each in a different room in the Community Center!

You’ll be visiting the mountains of Wyoming in the Community Room, the desert of Arizona in the Game Room, venture through the swamps of New Orleans in Grosh Cinema, the streets of New York City in Prairie Star and finally the beaches of Hawaii in the Classroom.

Each group will start in one location and rotate through the other rooms throughout the night. The groups will have a staff leader to help guide you through the USA tour. Come prepared to eat  your heart out and enjoy celebrating the season with friends.

Reservations are required (and limited) for this event. You can make your reservation in the Blue Book located at the Hospitality Desk or by calling (785) 323-3847. Once the reservations close, each attendee will receive a personalized reminder card, which will indicate which state (room) you are to begin your cross-country journey in at 4 p.m. the day of the party.

 Prairie Star Restaurant will be a destination during the Christmas Carousel and as a result, will be closed at 2 p.m. Wednesday, Dec. 17. Verna Belle’s Café will be open until 6:30 p.m. on the day of Christmas Carousel and will feature a dinner special, including a meatloaf sandwich, green beans and mashed potatoes with gravy for $7.

Please contact Darcy Reinbold-Olson, Resident Services Leader, with questions regarding Christmas Carousel.
