Big Whopping Liar Contest
We had a BIG WHOPPING LIAR CONTEST October 13th. The participants were to tell short stories, and the audience voted whether it was true or false. Some of the stories were some whoppers, that's for sure. Meet some of our Big Whopping Liars.
Halloween Was A Blast!
October was very festive. The events spun from one to another. No one has been bored here. To start with, some of our crew decided to try driving to the Gardener Village trip themselves.
It didn't take them long to figure they'd better let Danna drive them to their location. (You know how independent seniors like to be at times).It was a safe landing. Do they look a little relieved?
October 28th, the West Valley Small World Pre-School children came Trick or Treating! Thanks to the help from the West Valley City Police department, the children were safe coming and going.

We had a lot of fun with the children. They are always adorable. Our patrons sit on the chairs giving out candy as the children circle around holding their trick or treat bags open. The children also treat us with their Halloween poems and songs. We love spending time with the little spooks.
