The Esker Show

To celebrate the Summer in style we decided to hold a Fair

 

day called the ‘Esker Show’- plans were made and all the
 

organizing paid off when on Tues 19th August, Esker Lodge

held its first ever ‘Esker Show’ in the grounds of the nursing

home. The Marquee was set up the evening before and early

on Tuesday morning work began to set everything in place.

Luckily, the sun shone for most of the day with the exception of

a light shower in the afternoon. A write up and photos appeared

in the following week’s Anglo Celt and a piece was also

published in Nursing Homes Ireland’s magazine. A special

photo album of the day is on its way in the near future!

The Show featured a coming together of residents, staff, their

families, representatives from local organizations and the wider

multi-cultural community. A cake, specially designed by Staff

Nurse Jade Arbo was cut by residents Felix McKiernan, Violet Power and Nurse Manager Binimole Santhosh to open the event. A spectacular array of foods from India, the Philippians, France and Ireland satisfied every kind of appetite.

 

Smith’s Ice-cream van was the highlight for young and old alike

who savoured 99 cones in the sunshine.

 

In the Marquee, traditional music flowed from the stage. Dance performances from an Indian and Irish dancer had everyone in awe.

 

A fabulous day was had by all thanks to the hard work of all the Esker Lodge team and their extended family, friends and supporters.
