Evelyn May House, part of the Runwood, came alive with colour, music, and laughter as they hosted a spectacular Summer Carnival for their residents and their families. The event was a heartwarming celebration of community, joy, and togetherness, featuring an exciting mix of entertainment, including a BBQ feast, live music, and a dazzling Bollywood dance performance.
The day began with a fantastic performance by Mike, a local singer, who had everyone on their feet, dancing and singing along. The lively atmosphere continued with the highlight of the day—Bollywood dancers. These performers not only wowed the audience with their moves but also took the time to teach residents, staff, and family members how to dance Bollywood-style. It was a moment of pure joy as participants of all ages tried their hand at the vibrant, expressive dance.
The carnival atmosphere extended beyond the performances. Families and residents enjoyed a delicious BBQ with homemade desserts, which drew glowing compliments from attendees. Children were treated to sweet cones and fun games, while a raffle added an extra layer of excitement, with a lucky winner taking home a beautiful picnic set.

Jean, a resident, expressed her joy, stating that it had been “such a lovely day, and to spend time with my family too. The staff have made it very special.”
Alan, the husband of a resident, said he enjoyed helping out, adding, “I helped out, which I always like doing to thank the staff for everything they do for my wife.”
Another resident, Reg, shared his excitement, saying, “I always love dancing, and it’s great to be able to do it outside while the sun is shining.”
