A dozen SSC members made their way to Shenandoah Caverns last Thursday for their fall trip. They participated in the “Senior Day Out” held there; even though touring the caverns was not on the agenda for the day, three seniors paid a little extra to see the underground sights.
Other members enjoyed the gift shop and “Main Street of Yesteryear”, viewing a wide variety of beautiful, moving, colorful holiday and other special window displays as they might have done in younger years.
The group then moved onto another building on the grounds which houses 27 authentic parade floats; everyone was amazed by the enormous size of the floats as well as the color and movement of them. Both the window displays and the floats were very fascinating and enjoyed by all.
Transportation was provided in a special colorfully decorated van wagon over to the Yellow Barn where members and staff enjoyed a nice buffet luncheon, musical entertainment, and more shopping at yet another gift shop.
We would highly recommend this special day for seniors from Virginia and West Virginia. We found all the activities at Shenandoah Caverns to be plenty to make a nice day trip away from the Center.
