KAMSACK - Residents of Kamsack Nursing Home celebrated “Mardi Gras” thanks to the hours of preparation by recreation workers, Patty Witzko and Marianne Francis.
A lot of time was spent crafting floats, masks, crowns and various decorations. Organizing costumes, beads, and music associated with “Fat Tuesday” was an exciting new idea that was planned to incorporate residents, family members, and staff.
Everyone had a good time watching each other get dressed and decorated for a live, musical parade that proceeded throughout the hallways of the nursing home, bringing smiles and laughter to all. Gathering after the parade in the solarium for a group picture, Marianne Francis made a presentation on the origin and history of “Mardi Gras” followed by music associated with the festival.
We would like to extend a huge “thank you” to the staff and family members that showed up and participated. New Orleans has nothing on us!
