Bunny Day Was a "Hoppy" Occasion

Last Sunday we had a wonderful time with our Bunny Day celebration here at Promenade Oaks. The Spring Bunny even made an appearance! The kids of Promenade Oaks (and their parents!) were treated to cookies and a chance to visit with the Spring Bunny and do some coloring activities.

We were very lucky to have Ava, the daughter of Salem Green's Assistant Manager Janelle, as our bunny. Salem Green is another Condor apartment community. Not only was Ava great with the kids, but she managed to stay in that costume for eight hours while she visited with kids at three of our Condor apartment communities! Ava’s family lived at Salem Green when she was born and she used to sit on our bunny’s lap when she was little too.

Thanks to all of our young residents (and their parents!) for coming out to Bunny Day and making it so much fun. We look forward to seeing you there again next year.

Enjoy these fun photos from the event.













Ava did a great job as our Spring Bunny! Thank you, Ava!

Como Conservatory Flower Show - Bask In Sun, Warmth, and Flowers

Flowers - and lots of them! Head over to the Marjorie McNeely Conservatory at Como Park this weekend to see the special Winter Flower Show. This is the last weekend for the display; so if you are craving a taste of spring, this is a great place to visit. Soon the trees, bushes, and flowers around Promenade Oaks will be blooming as spring finally arrives - but for now you can go bask in sun, warmth, and take in the sight of hundreds of beautiful flowers at the Conservatory.
