Let’s blast into the past and celebrate Decade Days! Each Friday in June, staff and residents are invited to dress up and participate in activities that fit the decade or era that have been selected for that week! The first set of decades Meadowlark will celebrate is the 1920s and 1930s on Friday, June 3!

To begin the big day of festivities and recognize National Donut Day, there will be delicious old-fashioned donuts available in the Meadowlark Courtyard starting at 8 a.m.

In the afternoon, throw on your fancy flapper headbands, dresses, or zoot suits and head to the Prohibition Party at Prairie Star Pub.

At the Prohibition Party, enjoy a mocktail or cocktail tasting (whatever tickles your fancy), sipping popular drinks of that era, such as a Sidecar or a Bee’s Knees! Then, shortly thereafter, meet in the Manhattan Room, where a trivia contest awaits you! But unless you have the special code to get in, you might be out of luck; be sure to stop by the bar and make friends with the man in blue.   

Finish out the day watching The Great Gatsby at 7 p.m. in Grosh Cinema, or enjoy the two other available showings during the day, at 1 and 4 p.m.

As a part of Decade Days in June, a winner for “Best Dressed” will be selected. Send your entry photo to jarmfield@meadowlark.org by 2 p.m. each Friday to be entered to win!
