The second week of August saw a drastic climb in temperatures, up to 30 C at the beginning of the week and then to a whopping plus 38 C by Aug. 10.
Trying to stay cool in the blistering heat was almost impossible, but for 150 residents, staff and guests at Poplar Courts Special Care Home, that is what they did. Out on the patio under umbrellas and a big tent, they enjoyed the annual Poplar Courts Music Jam, consuming burgers, refreshments and, of course, ice cream.
Musical entertainment from Copper Creek along with Jon Sloan and Friends set the mood as they performed popular and old-time music that saw people up dancing and toe-tapping to the music. Both bands put on a splendid afternoon of entertainment for everyone who ventured out on that hot day.
With sponsorship from local businesses, Poplar Courts activities co-ordinator Jessi Pernitsky and staff were able to raise $650 for the Poplar Courts activity department. They appreciated the continued support for this event.
