It is football season and Parkview Haven played flag football. Two teams and they picked their team names (Colts & Redskins). Each member of the TEAM got to through four footballs to try to get points for their score. The throwing continued until there were no flags left to score. Their football had to land in one of the hula hoops or at least hit it to score and be able to pick a flag. They did not know what the flag was worth until after they chose it. Points were extra point, safety, field goal, touchdown and touchdown with two-point conversion. First time ever playing this and the plan is to play again after the holidays in January to get ready for the Super Bowl. There were even cheerleaders cheering on the players. What FUN!

The weather has not been good enough to do s'mores outside at Parkview Haven so Amy hosted Kitchen Capers and did an adapted version inside. We were having so much fun eating the s'mores that we did not capture enough photos but were able to get a few. All that took part enjoyed the finished product.

Parkview Haven had a fun time passing out candy to the trick or treaters. The Oak Room was turned into a very large maze where the kids & parents walked through being greeted by those living at Parkview Haven. This event is so special because this brings back so many memories of the times that they handed out candy at their homes. Parkview Haven never asked for candy; however, family, friends, staff and this community gave candy and Parkview Haven is grateful. No matter how much candy you purchase and try to plan to give 1 piece or this candy give 2 pieces, those handing out the candy decide how many is given which may be 1, 2, 4 or 5 but it ALWAYS WORKS OUT. The Oak Room went from a dining room to a maze in a quick amount of time while the staff gathered the residents waiting for the room to be ready. Staff checking off the list to make sure no one was missed that wanted to hand out candy! The families, volunteers and staff were amazing! Buckets were replenished throughout the evening, helpers right there assisting those that needed it, pictures being taken, someone operating the front doors for easy access in and out, someone counting the kids and so much more. 273 KIDS received candy at Parkview Haven and this number does not include parents. Another treat was the Salem Superstars providing everyone with information about 4H, Halloween stickers and more. THANK YOU to those that came to Parkview Haven and to those that helped! It takes a village which is another reason that a small community is GREAT!.

Halloween was a fun day at Parkview Haven. The staff helped make the day special by decorating pumpkins that are judged by the residents in three different categories. Those living at Parkview voted for their favorite and the tickets were sorted and winners were announced. After pumpkin judging a game of Plinko was played. The staff also dressed up which made for a really fun day. We did not catch everyone that participated in Halloween attire because some are just camera shy and we were not able to catch the others. We will have to bring a longer camera lens and do it from a distant next time....so beware! Thing 1 and thing 2 showed up and snatched up a family member to take a picture, there was a penguin in dining services (probably trying to get into the cooler or freezer), a farmer, witch and more. The farmer lost her cow, Bessie, during the day and announcements were made and those living at Parkview were keeping their eyes out for Bessie. Toward the end of the day the farmer was able to round up Bessie during bingo and guide her back to her pen that she got out of. What a FUN day! THANK YOU ALL FOR HELPING MAKE A DIFFERENCE!

Parkview Haven trips such as a country drive trip, an out for breakfast and out for lunch were all fun during this month. Earlier in the month a trip was taken to Bailey's Discount where some did some shopping and then ate at BaileyTown Burgers. Those that attended ate burgers, chilidogs, milkshakes, sidewinder fries and more. The middle of the month a breakfast trip to Royal Oaks, Rensselaer. Pancakes, crepes, eggs, omelets, steak, bacon & sausage, French toast and lots of coffee made this trip complete. The service was excellent! Both trips everyone left with a full stomach. At the end of the month, a country drive trip to Tippecanoe River State Park. The group was fortunate to be able to see the Halloween decorations at the campsites; unfortunately, pictures were not taken but you can view photos on Tippecanoe River State Park page. This country drive trip made their day to be able to see all the colors of the trees which is God's beauty and the campsite decorations just added to the trip. Thank You!
