On Wednesday, October 30th (the eve of ‘All Hallows’ Eve’), the Mary Ann Morse Healthcare Center sponsored this year’s Halloween Luncheon at the Holliston Senior Center.
Carol Lapolka from the Mary Ann Morse Healthcare Center welcomed and thanked the guests. Senior Center Director, Linda Marshall added her welcome as well. (Not seen in this photo is that Linda’s necklace of Jack o’ lanterns did blink.)Chef Rick Robidoux is joined by Steve Kiley, both from Mary Ann Morse, along with Holliston’s own Kathy Loring, to serve Hawaiian Chicken, Rice Pilaf, and green beans.
Johnny Cash (a.k.a. Robert Black) entertained during lunch with several of Mr. Cash’s famous tunes. By far the favorite was “Boy Named Sue” If you think he looks familiar – he is. Last year he entertained as Elvis.
It’s a sea of orange throughout the hall. Each place setting included a goody bag of Treats!
Of course, every Senior Center luncheon has fabulous prizes.
A big thank you to Mary Ann Morse Healthcare, the Senior Center staff, and the many volunteers that made the event possible. Also, if you weren’t able to attend, or are a big fan of Johnny Cash, you can catch a recording of the event on HCAT.
The Holliston Cultural Council and the Holliston High School English Department are sponsoring two writing contests this spring. One is a poetry-writing contest. The other is an essay-writing contest. There is a cash prize of $100. for each contest winner.
October is National Cookbook month and it’s no wonder why. Who doesn’t want to get in the kitchen when the temperatures start to dip. It’s harvest time and the rich flavors of fall produce are in abundance. Time to start baking and there’s no better place to start than with versatile, delicious pies! So here is our October book pick – The Book on Pie by Erin Jeanne McDowell.
After an unprecedented cancellation in 2020, due to the pandemic, the 30th annual Celebrate Holliston festivities will continue this year on September 18th, in a new location. This year, Celebrate Holliston is excited to be “Celebrating on Central” Street. The downtown, street-party style event will stretch down Central Street (closed from Washington Street to Blair Square) to bring the community together in a family-friendly, spaced-out, outdoor space – with the additional benefit of offering walking and biking access directly from the Rail Trail.
