The Ron Smith Care Centre in Lyndhurst was a hive of activity in preparation for the rainbow-themed happy hour held at the centre on 26 July.
Spokesperson for the care centre, Cathy Grosvenor said, “The main dining room was magically transformed into a kaleidoscope of brilliant rainbow colours as staff worked to decorate the venue with rainbow-coloured chains and beautiful crepe paper flowers.
“The residents and staff learnt how to make these in the previous weeks leading up to the event.”
Residents were offered wine, sherry and fruit punch as well as a variety of tasty snacks, but the hit of the evening was the brightly coloured and cheerful-looking cake pops-on-a-stick.
The winners of the most colourfully best-dressed female and male resident, as well as the best-dressed staff member were announced. The awarding of prizes was followed by a rainbow-themed team challenge which involved remembering the seven colours of the rainbow in the correct order.
The first team to complete the activity, with the colours in the correct order, won the challenge.
“The happy hour finished off with the care centre’s tradition of dancing to lively, happy music. The residents and staff thoroughly enjoyed themselves. The evening was full of colour, fun, warmth and good cheer and was a bright spot on this winter’s day.”
The room was decorated with multi-coloured flower pots and attached were famous quotes such as: ‘When you look at the world, it isn’t just one palette – it’s a beautiful rainbow.’
