How often would you
think going to visit a nursing home
would improve your spirits?
Well, this morning that is
exactly what happened to me. I
was taking the infamous Spot
down to for his usual greet, charm
and snack routine, and happened
onto the boisterous scene of
“Valentine Hall Decorations
Contest” . Penny Miller, our
nursing home Activities Director,
came up with the idea for this
‘friendly’ competition to enable
the entire hospital and nursing
home staff to scrap for the honor
of “best hall decoration section”
- or something like that.
The display started in the
elevator, which was dubbed 'The
Tunnel of Love’, and proceed
through a creative 'Post Office’
section complete with “Wanted”
posters of each resident, as well
as Spot, for various sweet
offenses. The observer then
moved onto the Hershey Kiss
section, with each resident’s
photo framed by a huge "Kiss’
complete with his or her name on
the pull tab. The displays were
varied and imaginative including
spring gardens, silk flowers,
crepe paper hearts surrounding
the re sid e n t’s nam es, and
valentine envelopes reminiscent
o f school days creations. Some
sections elegant while others
simple. And all were wonderful.
As Spot and 1 traversed
the hall, most of the residents
were mingling while many of the

competitors were joisting to gain
the three “Judges” favor. In spite
o f the B usiness O ffice
Decorating Team going so far as
to offer blatant bribes to each of
the panel, the judges refused to
be bought as prizes were handed
out in various categories.
The competition was a
hit with the residents as they are
still enjoying seeing photos of
themselves, and are working on
their Valentine exchange, and as
for the rowdy competitors - they
are already planning for the
Halloween hall competition.
