McLennan’s Manoir Du Lac is gearing up to host its first Autumn Festival to bring some fun to the seniors’ facility.
“Since COVID, there has been a disconnect between the community and our seniors,” explains organizer Lynette Lambert.
“Not all our residents are able to go out to enjoy local community events and by bringing the event to them we can begin to bridge that gap.”
The festival will be held at the Manoir Sept. 21 from 10 a.m. until 6 p.m. It will feature live music, games, and activities for the whole family.
“Our Autumn Festival is being organized and facilitated by the Manoir Du Lac recreation team with the help and input of our management staff,” says Lambert.
“Everyone of all ages and abilities are welcome and encouraged to attend.”
There is no charge to attend the festival, but there will be tickets for sale to use to play carnival games. The tickets for the games will be $2 per ticket or $5 for three. There will also be a 50/50 draw held by the Ladies Auxiliary. Organizers ask that attendees bring cash, as there will be no ATM on site.
Proceeds from the event will be used to enhance the recreation program and to Manoir du Lac in its mission to provide all residents with an active and enjoyable life.
