Residents, staff enjoy Dodge City Days One of the residents’ favorite time of the year is Dodge City Days! A 10-day celebration, which starts with a parade and ends with the worldfamous PRCA Round-up Rodeo.
During this celebration is the Manor of the Plains’ annual Christian Music for the Soul Concert, which was on Sunday, July 28, with the popular taco and tostado dinner in conjunction with the concert. Music was provided by North of 50, a live band out of Wichita. Kurt Lampe, Marketing Director at Manor of the Plains, estimated approximately 500 people attended the concert. The word around town was that those in attendance loved the live music and would most certainly come and see them next year. As always, we love feedback at Manor of the Plains. If you have a suggestion, or an idea you would like us to know about, you can always email Kurt at klampe@ pmma.org. ◆

Works by local winners are automatically entered into a masterpiece level competition with winning art from 16 other PMMA communities. More than 190 entries were received for this year’s masterpiece competition. The winners are featured in the Art is Ageless calendar with pull-out postcards and greeting cards. “We are blown away by the artistic talent in our community,” said Kurt Lampe, marketing director for Manor of the Plains. “Residents and friends of PMMA’s Art is Ageless program are proving that art, in any form, is an ageless ambition.” Art is Ageless, open exclusively to people age 65 and older, is a copyrighted program of PMMA. For the competition, works must have been completed in the past five years. PMMA’s Art is Ageless program encourages Manor of the Plains residents and other area seniors to express their creativity through its annual competition, as well as art classes, musical and dramatic events, educational opportunities and current events discussions throughout the year. Started in 1980, Art is Ageless is an extension of PMMA’s wellness programs, which focus on mental, physical, social and spiritual health.
