Terrifying Towers
Tower’s Area Government really enjoyed throwing unique programs this year as well as making our annual events the very best they have ever been! One of our most popular events was TAG’s Terrifying Towers. This event has been a popular one in the Beaty area for a number of years. This year, however, we decided to re”vamp” the occasion by adding different activities and changing the atmosphere. We offered fabulous prizes as incentives to get our residents to dress up for the costume party. Whether it be a pirate, a cowboy, or even a giant Woopie Cushion, nearly every resident that attended wore some sort of costume. The usually bland TV room was then transformed into a spooky, yet tasteful, dance floor. Dim lighting with neon accents and loud music gave the event a club-like atmosphere. We brought the dance floor to life by placing it smack-dab in the middle of the action! Popular dance songs were played at first to get everyone warmed up; and before we knew it, nearly the entire space was full of dancing residents. This yielded the opportunity to have an impromptu dance-off between the residents for Dougie-ing, Jerking, and Cotton-Eyed-Joe-ing until we couldn’t feel our legs! Hands-on, competitive activities allowed our residents to bond with each other and have a blast while doing it. With mummy-wrapping, bobbing for apples, and endless dancing, we transformed the tone of Terrifying Towers from ordinary to extraordinary.
