Tracy Avery Birds Visit Our Center

The Tracy Avery taught us about bird life styles. Vickie Smith was their demo project.


Barn Yard Owl and a Toucan Bird were the birds from the Avery.

The owl had plans of it's own. It took off flying and found happiness in front of a mirror on the center's stage.  You could say, he was a real HOOT!

Win It In A Minute

Wow!  That was fun!  Yesterday we let loose and played games galore.  David Walker put so much work into the whole collection of challenging trick games.  There are around 200 photos taken by Danna Polad to share with you.  As of yet they wouldn't all download onto the site.  So if when you read this article, make sure you check back and see the photo fun.  Look for Photos of our Patrons.  They are downloadable photos.  Who has more fun than our center?

This game had strings hung off or your ears.  The pencils were as an elevator with a piece of candy on them.  As the player pulled on the string the elevator would approach to the mouth.  If the candy didn't fall off, the person got to eat their candy.

If you could unlock the key to this game you would hook all three keys onto the string without dropping one.  These two were the first ones to play.  They had it the hardest.  We made them play while holding the pole in their mouths.  They did a darn good job too.  Everyone else was able to play holding it in their hand.  It became too hard with the mouth one, so we moved to useing hands instead.

Check out the other games and the fun we had.

Don't you just love it?  These folks are the life of the party.  Join us next time.

There was a very generous anonymous person that has donated handmade lap quilts to the center.  Another one that donated afghans.  We are using them for business builders.  Do I have your attention now?  How would you like to win one of the beautiful quilts or an afghan?
