In the midst of all the chaos from the storm, it is hard to believe that just one week before the local community of West Springfield was enjoying a good ‘ole fashioned New England style Fall Festival. The folks at the Monastery Senior Living Community surely went above and beyond putting this event together and didn’t miss a beat paying attention to detail; from the horse drawn carriage rides out front on the beautifully landscaped property to the farmers market to the children’s corner with fresh baked cookie decorating to face painting that was worthy of a canvas!
The residents of West Springfield along with the residents of the Monastery enjoyed the many amenities available to them on a chilly autumn afternoon. They walked around while sipping apple cider, buying fresh and local produce from local farms; and if you thought it was too chilly you stepped inside to enjoy the fall bazaar with even more local vendors showcasing their wares. There was local honey, local artisans, and handmade gifts, truly everything from soap to nuts!
