The last dream that the Dream Weavers granted to one of our residents was Rosemary. Rosemary really loves the Irish, she enjoys watching Notre Dame play, and truly wanted to go to the game. Unfortunately, with it being eight hours away, she was not able to go. The Dream waivers had a big tailgate party for her at Dunklau Gardens with all her favorite food catered by Hy-Vee, Notre Dame outfit for the big game, balloons, necklaces and all the football trinkets with Notre Dame on everything. She truly enjoyed her day.

Country Fair,
The residents and staff had fun with the fair activities. We started out the day with our silent auction, with baskets from each department, our annual bake sale, and Fairy Hair saw here to put fairy tinsel in their hair, followed by a country grill out of hamburgers and hotdogs. For the afternoon we had a couple different games to play. For our social hour we made some fair food including funnel cake. It was a great day, and everyone enjoyed the day!
