SHELTON - Staff and residents at Crosby Commons Assisted Living Community at Wesley Village put on their cowboy hats and saddled up their horses for a day of western fun.
 Organized by Activities Director,Mary Ann Milano, the day featured a chuck wagon-style barbeque dinner, water pistol shooting lessons, and plenty of country music! 

Wanted posters were hung around the entire community, announcing a reward for the return of a few “notorious” outlaws, whose intimidating photos strangely resembled those of several Crosby residents.
“Sarsaparilla” floats were served out on the “mesa” and cowboy hopefuls were given a chance to take a rope in their hands and lasso a wild pony. 
It was “Home on the Range” for Crosby residents, and though the “deer and the antelope” may have been a few miles away, there were only “encouraging words” for this fun community event.

Crosby Commons is an Assisted and Independent Living Community at Wesley Village and is owned and operated by United Methodist Homes, a faith-based, not-for-profit organization.
