LA SIENA
Tell us what you did during Active Aging Week to redefine the term "Active."
Serendipity played a role in us discovering the game of Cornhole. We had no idea this inconspicuous game would bring out something in our residents that they hadn’t experienced. Weeks of practice led-up to our double-elimination tournament, with six teams competing to be our Cornhole champions. Onlookers watched and cheered for our beginner and experienced players. We had several ‘Dos Cornholes’ and even ‘A holy moly triple Cornholy’, but more importantly, our residents found a new skill and a sense of purpose.
