The 10th Annual Chef & Sip Challenge was held yesterday at the Hotel Canandaigua. It was presented by the Canandaigua Kiwanis Club.  

Our Chefs, Daniel Cobb and Julie Woloson offered up Yankee Pot Roast and Mashed Potatoes garnished with puff pastry/carmalized onion & chive.  It was a feast for the senses and they came home with the prize of Most Creative!  Congratulations to these talented chefs!

Lots of familiar faces in the photos.  You will see some of our wait staff, Matt Pelton and Kaylee White, out enjoying the day along with retired Executive Director, Aimee Ward. The venue was beautiful, the competition was fierce, but there was great camaraderie among the many talented chefs.  There is so much talent in this region of the Finger Lakes and we are fortunate to have some of that talent right here at Ferris Hills and Clark Meadows.

"The Marathon Man"

For the past 20 years or more, our Marathon Man, has been walking for exercise.  Participating in the National Veterans Golden Age Games, he took home the gold in power walking!  After moving to Clark Meadows, he continued to exercise at the VAMC in Canandaigua, using the pool and also walking the track.  With the onset of Covid-19, his trips to the VA have been curtailed.  Not one to sit down for long, this gentleman started walking the halls and the nature path around the community, weather permitting. 

Residents and staff alike wanted to know how many miles he was walking.  With a pedometer attached, and a starting day of Friday, April 24th through Friday, May 1st, our Marathon Man, 88 years of age, completed 29 miles!  From our gold medal winner.....he states, " The whole idea is to encourage others to keep moving if they see me walking.  It's about keeping healthy in our community."
