Residents and staff of Ron Smith Care Centre enjoyed a ‘boot-scootin’ good old time recently at their country and western-themed party.
The dining room tables had red-and-white chequered overlays and decorations from the Wild West and farm life.
Guests were welcomed with happy-hour drinks and snacks.
The country music of Dolly Parton, Kenny Rogers, Johnny Cash and Willie Nelson, among others, played in the background.
Cheering and whistling broke out when the best-dressed men and women were announced.
Gisela Meinck from River Lodge 2 won the Best-dressed Lady prize.
Leon Shuker from Cedar Park won the Best-dressed Gentleman prize.
Nellie Motshoene from Lakeside won the Best-dressed Staff prize.
More clapping and hooting took place when the River Lodge 2 Country and Western Line Dancers performed the Salty Dog Rag, Hillbilly Rock, and Achy Breaky Heart dances.
Rand Aids’ Cathy Grosvenor said all the cowboys and cowgirls had a great time.
“Many of the residents said this was the best happy-hour function.”
