Fun at Annual Market on the Pond
This year’s “Market on the
Pond,” held every year by the
Auxiliary of the Meadows Nurs-
ing Center, Dallas, featured 110
ventors on the center’s grounds
on Saturday, June 14.
A gift basket raffle, featuring
baskets donated by volunteers,
staff members and friends of the
center, kicked off the event. New
ideas that year included an Ea-
gles football, a gas gift card Cat’s
Meow and Doggie Heaven.
Vendors at the event offered a
variety of goods and treasures.
The Auxiliary booths included
odds and ends, plants, jewelry,
books, raffles, residents’ crafts,
refreshments and more. Entera-
tinment was provided by “The
Goodtimers.”
Members of the market comm-
tite include Bernie Hill, Fran Die-
rolf, Irene Transue, Pat Frod-
sham, Betty Glass, Leona Walter,
Louise Montigney, Peter Klein,
chairman; Robert Law, Auxilairy
president; Helen Carey, Betty
Sorchik, volunteer coordinator;
and Nelson Ashburner.
“Would you believe he found me?" asks Chris Cyprich, who paid
$1.00 to take this fellow home for her grandson, Tyler.
Creatures like this one appeared as denizens during the annual
Meadows Nursing Center's Market on the Pond.

They look real, but actually these wooden basset hound statues are just that - statues that could
be purchased to place in a yard.
Jennifer Transue, of
Beaumont, and her
daughter, Savanna,
were visitors at the
