See photos from Elyson’s Great Get-Together event
Elyson recently celebrated spring with the Great Get-Together, an old-fashioned picnic with a “Wizard of Oz” theme, featuring chalk art, face painters, balloon artists, classic picnic food and drinks, and much more.
Dorothy greeted residents and guests as they arrived at Elyson’s Model Home Village, and there was a living Tin Man statue and a Scarecrow on jumping stilts.
A chalk artist helped kids create their own artwork with a Wizard of Oz themed template. Face painters, balloon artists, and arts and crafts activities added to the fun, and a DJ was on hand to spin tunes.
Kids of all ages enjoyed train rides around the Model Home Village, a petting zoo and farmyard inflatable play areas.
Delicious treats included cotton candy, popcorn, mini funnel cakes and sno cones.
The picnic was followed by live music on the event lawn at Elyson House, with Houston’s Hybrid 7 band playing upbeat dance hits and classic Motown favorites.
