August Corn Cob Feed Party
August 26th, 2019Somerset had a corn cob shucking day and a corn cob feed party in July, and another recently in August. Somerset residents enjoy this popular summer activity and party two or three times each summer. At Somerset we make senior living fun and delicious!
Resident volunteers are shucking corn for their August corn cob feed party. Shucking is fun for residents who like to help. Resident volunteers shuck as much as they want to, and the kitchen staff shucks the rest. It’s a fun activity and the corn tastes best when you helped! Resident volunteer’s participation in shucking is optional. Many enjoy it!
Somerset resident volunteers and kitchen staff are shucking corn for our August corn cob feed party. They have to shuck a lot of corn for the big event, but it’s a labor of love. They had a great time and the corn tastes best when you helped!
