In honor of the Erie County Fair we held our own "Fair Day". Everyone had fun playing the fish bowl game, duck pond, bean bag toss and dice raffle. The prizes were also fair themed from cotton candy & lollipops to stuffed animals. The residents also enjoyed corn dogs, french fries, popcorn and loganberry. The sights and smells brought back memories of the good old carnival days. Please visit our website at http://www.edenheights.com/eden.html
One of our biggest summer events is the Eden Cornfest, which is a 37 year tradition here in Eden. Eden Heights was proud to participate in this years festivities with a tent in the fest that had information and giveaways regarding our facility. Our Eden Heights Vets were honored to be invited to a ceremony on Sunday morning in remembrance of all who served. We were also excited to be in the parade for the second year in a row. The residents threw candy and greeted all the children and families along the parade route. We also had our own Eden Heights cheering section along the parade from the residents that came to watch us. It was a wonderful day that brought a new experience to many of us and gave us time to spend with folks from all over WNY and the community.
