Vacation Bible School Dog Days of Summer…
Every year, local churches sponsor Vacation Bible Schools
for children to attend. For the past several years we have
had our very own Vacation Bible School program but gear it
toward adults.
This year’s theme is titled “Big Heart Farms: Where God’s
Fruit Grows.” We will be reviewing Galatians 5:16-26 which
covers the fruits of the Spirit. These include love, joy, peace,
patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and
self-control.
We will not only have daily discussions but we will make
crafts, sing songs, and have snacks just like real Vacation
Bible School sessions.
If you would like to join us in finding our way with the Lord,
we will conduct our VBS from Aug. 19 - 23. Check our
calendar for times of each activity. We have survived the very hottest
part of the summer so far, so why not
celebrate with “The Dog Days Of
Summer?”
Even though it might be hot outside,
let’s keep it cool inside by making
some puppy chow, making dog biscuits
for our local dog kennel, hosting a dog
show and much, much more.
You never know, we might dress up
like dogs and play “Dog Themed
Bingo.”
At the end of the week, we will really
cool off with some watermelon and
sing some dog themed songs. Do you
remember, “How Much is that Doggy in
the Window?”
Snaptique…
Snaptique, which is a snap-based jewel-
ry business and a boutique all rolled into
one shopping opportunity, will be here on
Thursday and Friday, Aug. 1 and 2 from
9 a.m. - 3 p.m.
Jennifer has a beautiful line of
necklaces, bracelets, and name tags where
one can interchange designed snaps to
meet your style of the day. She also brings
beautiful clothes which the staff usually
buys out within minutes.
Jennifer donates a percentage from her
event to the Resident Activity fund.
Come on out and see what Snaptique
has to offer.
It’s Berry Pickin’ Time...
A Week at the Fair

Many towns host their own local and state fairs
throughout the summer months. Since we are unable to
attend these, we thought about hosting our own fair.
The Colonial Springs fair will begin on Monday,
Aug. 12 through Friday, Aug. 16.
Throughout the week we will have a variety of
activities that will include carnival games, bingo, special
fair foods, musical entertainment, and maybe even a few
animals for our ladies and gentlemen to pet. What’s a fair
without animals?
