From 4H’ers to a Mini Horse at Mayflower

On Friday and Sunday, July 7th and 9th, Mayflower had enjoyable visitors.

On Friday, the Grinnell Might Golden Clovers 4H Club was represented by numerous members who brought their projects and talents for a “trial run” before this week’s Poweshiek County Fair and hopefully, August’s State Fair. This is an annual event as this talented group of young people with the guidance of their committed Leader, Stacy Turley, entertain and amaze Mayflower residents in this fair lead-up.

Then on Sunday, Susan Leathem Sanning made arrangements for Erik Sanning and Grinnell College student, Em Huss-Lederman, to bring Susan’s and Erik’s mini horse, Mini Cooper, and dog Bently to visit residents in the Beebe Circle and the Health Center Courtyard.

Both animals are certified therapy animals, each about 12 years old. You couldn’t tell from their expressions, but it seemed that Mini Cooper and Bently enjoyed the time together as much as did the Mayflower residents.
