As part of the library outreach program Pat Coy(Friends of the library member) and I go monthly (third Thursday of the month) to Prairie Meadows to share a seasonal topic with the residents, some magazines, and treats.This month we chose a pumpkin and harvest
theme with the residents. Giessla Staub shared how to make a corn husk doll and it is a very interesting process. We are all going to try this at our November get-together.
The seniors were very good at identifying the leaves from Pat's place and she explained why the leaves change color. We also had some facts and statistics on pumpkins. I told some jokes and a poem from Minnesota Monthly was shared by Pat. We then took suggestions from the seniors on how to decorate the pumpkin and when Pat was finished, we all decided it was a great looking pumpkin.
