Turkey Game Hunting at The Kempton at Brightmore
It was open season last week as Miss Turkey made a pre-Thanksgiving appearance for big game hunting…with an emphasis on game, and weapons made by Nerf.
On November 19th, Melissa Crouch, administrator at The Kempton at Brightmore, donned an inflatable turkey costume and tried to ‘duck’ from Nerf bullets as residents got her in their sights. The Kempton is catered assisted living on the campus of Brightmore of Wilmington senior living community.
“I’m always looking for new ways to get residents moving and excited. I was working on our November calendar, when I came across an ad for a Sunday Turkey Shoot. I thought it would be something new and very enjoyable for our residents. I mentioned the idea at a meeting, and Melissa joyfully accepted the challenge,” said Jennifer Goodman, activities director.
Miss Turkey gobbled and dodged as residents took aim and laughed. It was the perfect way to start celebrating the Thanksgiving holiday. “There were so many smiles, and the event is still being talked about! Melissa was such a great sport,” said Deb Grant, sales and marketing director at The Kempton at Brightmore.
