Moosehaven's Got Talent
We love bragging about our residents, and what better way to showcase them than with a talent show!

Hats off to the residents and staff for their hard work in putting together a wonderful – and hilarious – “Moosehaven’s Got Talent” show.

Our seniors rocked the stage, proving that age is just a number and talent only gets better with time. Congratulations to everyone who participated. A fantastic time was had by all!

2023 Moosehaven’s Got Talent Awards:

  • Winners: Jim Fleming, Maryellen Winbolt, and Faith Vick, “Blueberry Hill”
  • 1st Runner Up: Richard & Peggy Doolan, “The Long Way Home”
  • 2nd Runner Up: Barbara Springfield and Betsy Ireland, “Tiny Dancers”
  • 3rd Runner Up: Patricia McMullens, “Singing Crazy”
Let's Make a Deal
No costume is too outrageous for our fun-loving seniors when it’s time to play “Let’s Make a Deal!” Residents gathered in the Michigan building on September 12 for a game day inspired by the television game show.

Audience members dressed up in outlandish costumes to get the host’s attention in an attempt to ‘make a deal.’ Some took their prizes and ran, while others traded and tried to avoid the dreaded ‘zonk.’
