St. Patrick's Day at Winter Ranch

It was a fun day at Winter Ranch this St. Patrick's Day.  

First off we had a Poker Run.  Everyone donated $1 to join in the fun and the winner got all.  Residents started at the Activity Office with a card and a map to the sites where they could collect cards.  They went to seven lots and picked their best 5 cards for their poker hand.  They brought their hands back to the Activity Office when they finished and we announced the winner at the St. Patrick's Day Round up later on in the day.

Next we gathered around for the Trophy Gardens/Winter Ranch Golf Cart Parade.  People had just as much fun watching the parade as they did being a part of it.  Just take a look!
