Theme Days

Medieval Magic April 2008

The dining room in our retirement residence was transformed to a medieval theme for this event.  We even had our own knight in shining armor!  Featured entertainment was a harp and recorder duo whose sweet sounds provided a gentle background for the evening.  Lots of great food was available for residents and guests.

Mardi Gras Soiree February 2008

The Gray Jazz Band brought the sounds and jazz of New Orleans to Park Place for our Mardi Gras Soiree.  We were all decked out in the traditional Mardi Gras colours of green, purple and gold and as you can see from the picture, the residents really got into the spirit.


Spooky Halloween Party

The ghosts and ghouls were out and about at our Halloween Party and Open House.  Residents and staff got into the swing of things with pumpkin carving, an interdepartmental decoration contest and lots of interesting costumes.  All the Managers dressed as pirates this year.  Take a look.

50's Theme Day June 2007

This was an exceptionally succesful theme day!  Shawn Berry, a well-known local Elvis impesonator, had the place rocking!  We were up and on our feet dancing and carrying on.  Staff was decked out in 50's style clothing for the day, including poodle skirts and peddle pushers.  Root beer floats, milkshakes and barbecued burgers and dogs were the order of the day.  Check our our pictures.
 
Each month, Park Place Residents and guests enjoy a special theme day, which features special menus for the day as well as afternoon entertainment and an Open House for those interested in touring our residence.
