Gracewood of North Branch-Carnival
/Happy November! Gracewood in North Branch has had quite a flurry of activity lately. We had a fall carnival – and did we have fun! Over 100 kids and adults filled our building! We had games, clowns, good music by Mike Larson, a bouncy house, and we even had a fishing game with real fish for prizes! One of our residents had 15 family members join in the fun! The kids were smiling ear to ear and even with clown noses on! We hope that you have a month filled with bushels of blessings and a Happy Thanksgiving. Stop in to visit our building sometime. We’ll have the coffee on.
