February 10, 2017 (Henrietta, NY) ─The groundhog saw his shadow, signifying six more weeks of winter. Residents at Woodcrest Commons have no complaints! From crafts and scavenger hunts to parties and community outings, there’s been no shortage of ways to fight cabin fever at the DePaul Senior Living Community in Henrietta.

Pictured above, Woodcrest Commons Joan Rangus and Shirley Merton show off their winter-inspired artwork during painting with a twist, Joanne Hackett builds a snowman and Norene Hogan displays a stuffed penguin which she laced and stuffed during a craft activity.

Pictured here, Woodcrest Commons resident Rosanne Bourne puts the finishing touches on a Super Bowl coaster, John Hicks and Connie Rovas get crafty with some pottery at Color Me Mine in Pittsford and David Gerhardt searches for groundhogs during a scavenger hunt.

“David said he enjoyed the activity because when he was young, he literally did hunt for groundhogs,” said Activities Director Lindsay Lown. “He lived on a farm and they had to control the groundhog population because the horses would step in their holes and break their legs. He got a kick out of it.”

Also on the calendar for February is a trip to the Waffle Factory and Webster Museum, Bowling at Bowl-A-Roll, National Alka Seltzer Day Science Experiments and a Mardi Gras party.
