A day at the Allen County Fair
On Aug. 26, the Mennonite Memorial Home took residents on their annual excursion to the Allen County Fair. A lot of ground is covered at the fair, and so that residents do not tire out, each one attends in a wheelchair.
Volunteers and family members become personal chauffeurs for a day. Residents enjoyed a fun filled morning visiting the barns, seeing the fair activities and ending with a lunch. This day is a huge success thanks to the help of our volunteers, according to Mary Ann Ring, director of volunteer services at MMH.
This years volunteers were Julie, Paul, David and Rachel Yoder, Joyce and Don Hostetler, Richard and Marylin Basinger, Brittany Sommers, Carolyn Barnes, Courtney McBride and Nancy Smith.
