Stumps Aquatics and Exotics brought in their exotic animals to Lutheran Village, and we're not sure who enjoyed it more - staff or residents!

How fun!! ❤️
The residents are all happy to enjoy the animals.
Last week between volunteers, staff and families, 46 LSS The Good Shepherd residents were able to either go to the fair or had fair food brought back. Our residents saw their grandkids' animals, ate their favorite fair foods, walked the fair with family, and ran into old friends. We were so happy to get them to the fair again!
