NorthPointe offers Luminary Walk, holiday event
ROSCOE – NorthPointe Health and Wellness is doubling the fun this year. NorthPointe Health and NorthPointe Terrace are teaming up to bring you and your family an evening of holiday fun in two different buildings.
The campus is hosting an Anniversary Celebration on Thursday, Dec. 10 from 4:30 to 7 p.m. promising fun and delicious activities.
“NorthPointe Terrace will be completely decked out for the holidays,” states Deidre Bennett, Director of NorthPointe Terrace in Roscoe. “Our residents enjoy the holidays and it is a beautiful building to decorate, so we have many surprises for visitors.”
There will be many sparkling holiday trees, each with a different theme. Santa will be there for all the kids and you can relive your childhood in the North Pole train room. Be sure to participate in the gingerbread decorating and enjoy the snacks, refreshments and holiday harp music.
NorthPointe will host their free 8th anniversary celebration for families of all ages. One of the family favorites is the traditional Merry Prairie Luminary Walk, a beautiful outdoor stroll around the pond surrounded by hundreds of glowing luminaries. This year they are asking visitors to bring a non-perishable food item for the Rockton Food Pantry.
“We will also offer other traditions like the horse drawn carriage rides and outdoor fire-roasted treats,” explains Gus Larson, NorthPointe Campus Director.
The Merry Prairie Luminary Walk is a half-mile paved outdoor walk around NorthPointe’s pond and waterfall. The paved path will be lined with over 500 glowing luminaries and the air will be filled with holiday music. Horse-drawn carriage rides around the beautiful natural prairie will be available starting around 3:30 p.m. until dusk.
NorthPointe Campus includes Immediate Care, Physician Clinics, Spa, Diagnostics, Sports Medicine and therapies and the popular Wellness Center. The Wellness Center is membership based and includes two beautiful indoor pools. Tours of the campus will be available if visitors would like to find out more.
The celebration will include tasty refreshments and drawings for prizes. For more information about the anniversary celebration and Merry Prairie Luminary Walk, please call (815) 525-4000.
