When you think of October, the images that instantly come to mind are typically ghosts, goblins and a family trip to the pumpkin patch. Of course, Halloween is on everybody’s mind. Many households enjoy decorating and getting costumes together for enhancing the celebration.
Today is National Boss’ Day and National Sports Day. Throughout the year, music, food, history and holidays inspire more than 400 Louisiana festivals and events of all sizes across the state, many of them being local or a very short distance from here. We are blessed to have the Cotton Festival in Ville Platte. Many of our residents enjoy the heritage and culture shared at this time.
The staff of Heritage Manor wishes a Happy Birthday this week to James Vidrine.

Anyone wishing to donate candy for our residents for the Halloween party, please drop it off at the front door for the activity department before October 28. All donations are greatly appreciated.
