Fall Festival A Great Success!



On Sunday, October 16, smiling faces gathered under sunny skies to raise over $2,000 for the Alzheimer’s Association! For the eighth consecutive year, Juniper Village at Brookline hosted the Fall Festival at Harner Farm, with all proceeds benefiting the local Walk to End Alzheimer’s.

The Fall Festival had something for everyone to enjoy. Most popular was the gigantic corn maze, where people of all ages dared to navigate their way through intricate pathways of cornstalks stretching eight feet high. Face and hair painting were other popular activities, where kids were transformed into sweet kitty cats and scary skeletons! Game stations featured over ten options, from the Ghost Tower to the Pumpkin Float.

And what festival would be complete without food? Penny Jeffries from Juniper’s Wellspring Memory Care building cooked up steaming kettles of her famous autumn vegetable and ham and bean soups. The menu also featured juicy hot dogs on the grill and fresh, cheesy pizzas donated by Pizza Mia in State College. And Juniper employees and residents showcased their confectionery skills for the bake sale, with offerings such as homemade cheesecakes, apple pies, and Halloween bark!

Thank you to everyone who helped to make the Fall Festival a wonderful success, and for your support of the Alzheimer’s Association!
