Looking For Something To Do This Afternoon? Enjoy Century’s Ole Mill Pond
May 28, 2009
Century Care Center will kick off a planned concert series “An Evening at Century’s Ole Mill Pond” this Friday afternoon, and everyone is invited.
The concert series is fashioned after Pensacola’s Evening in Old Seville Square, CCC Director Don Ripley said. The Century event will feature free live entertainment with the sounds of soul, rhythm and blues from The Sensational Tones of Joy.
We felt that since Century has lost so much recently in the closing of our last school, Century Elementary, and our Escambia County court annex, that we needed to do something to bring the community together,” Ripley said. “What better way than to have a free concert, an open house, with food and art vendors to bring the community together with our most cherished assets, our mothers and fathers, grandmothers and grandfathers that have given us so much to be thankful for, all from the Century, Jay, Flomaton and Atmore areas.”
The event will take place behind Century Care Center at the Ole Mill Pond, a new pond fully stocked with fish for the enjoyment of the nursing home residents. The pond was built to allow Century care residents to get outside, build their immune systems and stimulate their minds and bodies. The pond was built with a grant from the Agency For Health Care Administration.
The event is open to anyone, regardless if they have family members in Century Care Center or not. Attendees are encouraged to bring a lawn chair or blanket. The Tri-City Rotary Club will be selling barbecue sandwiches, chips and soft drinks. Other vendors will be on hand as well.
The event will begin at 3:00 Friday afternoon and is expected to continue until about dark. Century Care Center is located at the intersection of West Highway 4 and Industrial Boulevard in Century.
For more information, or to reserve a vendor booth, call Mae at 256-1540.
