Juniper Village at Mount Joy

A Little Bird Told Me

It was National Chicken Wing Day! Did you celebrate? Juniper Village at Mount Joy did!

We started off our morning with an intergenerational, EGGtraordinary STEM study. Bubble wrap, packing peanuts, cardboard and many more items decorated the tables. Participants were given approximately 30 minutes to design and build their egg-saving contraptions. Then it was time for the big drop! Two contestants made a safe landing tying for first place! Fresh hot wings with a variety of sauce choices made for a savory lunch. We cranked up the volume with a chicken-dance OFF where associates and residents displayed their finest moves. Rounding out the day was a feather focus meditation and chicken pot pie debate! Noodles or pie crust?? It was noodles all the way for this community!
