Friday concluded National Skilled Nursing Care Week. The theme for Harlan HRC was Appalachian History and a part of the included festivities, they started the day with a petting zoo.
The sound of bluegrass music echoed off the porch while the staff held a cookout for lunch, filling the area up with the aroma of grilled burgers, hotdogs and BBQ ribs. But the fun didn’t stop there. There was also quilts made by residents that were on display. Harlan County Extension Office made an appearance and delivered some homemade butter with the residents. Dietary baked up some warm flaky biscuits to spread with cinnamon butter, which left people salivating.
Afterward, with the gorgeous weather surrounding the area, everyone worked off the delicious food with an old fashioned hayride.
