Grandparent's Day Celebration Luncheon Hosted by KinCare Program

On September 24, 2007, approximately 40 KinCare participants, MEOC staff and others enjoyed the Grandparents’ Day Celebration luncheon at the Trinity United Methodist Church in Big Stone Gap. Everyone dressed up in a 50’s and 60’s attire and enjoyed a delicious catered lunch. Participants had the opportunity to showcase their skills by doing the “Twist” and the Limbo. Entertainment was provided by Elvis (Fred Herndon), who always does a wonderful job. Deborah Smith, Children’s Services Community Educator brought original 45 records for the Twist and Limbo contests.

Deborah Smith, Children’s Services Community Educator demonstrated the “Limbo” for everyone. Those who were brave enough to attempt the limbo had a great time. Cary Flannary won the prize for being the most flexible!

We think KinCare participants who smiled the most received leis from Elvis. Pictured smiling, are Patsy Sproles and Bernice Fannon. Both enjoyed the special entertainment by Elvis.

“Elvis” provided everyone an opportunity to have their picture made with “The King” before he had to escape to his next performance. Fred Herndon (Elvis) as always did a fantastic job! Pictured with “The King” is Geraldine Fannon.
