This past month was filled with activities at The Covington.
At The Covington
Each year we visit the Hawaiian Islands in spirit. The celebration starts with the ever-popular Luau. Along with a delectable assortment of foods, residents were entertained with music and dance. The award-winning cast of TUPUA takes great pride in providing the finest Polynesian culture and entertainment. They presented rhythmic Tahitian drums and beautiful Hula. There was a true spirit of Aloha in the community.
Performances
A new entertainer joined us in August. Jennifer Kersey, founder of the Storybook Family Playhouse brought us music from decades long past. Jennifer has performed across the country and in Asia. She has entertained on cruise ships and at theme parks. Her beautiful voice captivated our audience.
Performances
During Happy Hour, our resident group of talented individuals entertained those at our Canyon House. These musicians come together to perform their favorite songs, bringing a smile to everyone’s face.
Outings
Our annual trip to the Laguna Beach Pageant of the Masters and Festival of the Arts was a resident favorite.
Pageant of the Masters re-creates famous works of art. This year, the theme was “Gold Coast: Treasures of California.” This 90-minute performance brings famous works of art to life on the stage. These tableaux vivants (“living pictures”) are incredibly faithful re-creations of classical and contemporary works of art, with real people posing to look exactly like their counterparts in the original pieces. It’s a memorable experience.
The Festival Art Show is named one of the top art festivals in the nation, and features the work of more than 100 Orange County artists. With so much to see and experience, it was a favorite day for all.
Outings
A popular day trip was to San Juan Capistrano. Residents enjoyed a historic walking tour. This charming community was founded in 1776, when Father Junípero Serra established the mission. The restoration of the mission in the 1910s and 1920s transformed the town into a beloved destination for visitors. Residents spent the day exploring the beautifully preserved buildings, visiting the shops and enjoying a meal.
