Wildwood Programs

We are celebrating a true Wildwood legend! Norman officially hit the 70+10 milestone and he’s doing it in style.

For more than a decade, we’ve gotten to know Norman and we think you should too.

The Fuel: A steaming cup of coffee to get the gears turning. ☕️
The Power: A hearty side of potatoes every night 🥔
The Passion: Anything with wheels - from fire trucks to dump trucks, though nothing beats the classic John Deere. 🚒🚜
The Soul: Bringing down the house with his singing and incredible piano playing 🎹🎤
