The menu included caramel corn, Lucky Charm cereal bars, brownies in a bag, chocolate cupcakes, and cans of pop. The caramel corn sold out first, but by the end of the afternoon there were only a few items left.
Activity Director Brittany Snyder said a bake sale held a few months ago was a big hit, with the residents raising $300, so they decided to have a sale every three months. Proceeds will go towards their Activity Fund for items such as Bingo prizes, craft stuff, games, cooking supplies (such as a recently purchased skillet), or “anything else they want.”
“They love doing it,” said Brittany, adding that the residents help out with some of the tasks in the kitchen, especially the taste-testing. The facility director advocates for fundraising and public activities, so plans are already in the works for more ways to connect with the Prophetstown community.
Upcoming events at Allure of Prophetstown are the Easter Egg Hunt on Friday, April 3rd at 1 p.m., a Spring Bazaar & Bake Sale on Saturday, April 11th from 9 a.m. – 3 p.m., and a Yard Sale Fundraiser May 1-2 from 8 a.m. – 3 p.m., with donations being accepted.
Anna Mae, Activity Director Brittany Snyder, and Shirley (L-R) sell homemade sweet treats on Thursday.
