Hitz Home Activities
Residents making their home at Hitz have had a very busy month.
February may have had some cold snowy days, but it didn’t stop the people from the Hitz Home from celebrating.
Starting the month, masks and beads came out as the Mardi Gras party started everything off. Soon it was time to crown Valentine’s Day King Thomas and Queen Sandra. Next on the party agenda was the big Super Bowl Bingo game soon followed by the monthly birthday parties.
Plenty of time to have fun with the Grantfork 4H kids that stopped by to entertain and enjoy spending time as well as the fun had by many of the ladies making paper jewelry.
