HALLOWEEN FUN

LGV residents and staff thoroughly enjoyed the Halloween parade and singing provided by the LaCrosse Elementary school.

It took special coordination and support this year with our Elementary classes in their new school. THANK YOU USD 395 for continuing to support these events between the young people and our elders.

We appreciate you! By the looks on the faces of all participating and attending it was a huge success!

LGV residents, family and staff have been having a grand time celebrating the fall events.

Staff enjoyed wearing pink in honor of Breast Cancer awareness month. LGV offers a comprehensive health plan for staff that includes preventative measures like mammography screening.

Our residents always enjoy the school music program sharing their talents with us. The choir was on and performed a great afternoon of music.

We enjoyed our Family Octoberfest as well with music from Wes Windholz and many German dishes. We had bierochs, green bean dumpling soup and kuchen as well as wonderful sides brought by our family members. It was a foot stomping good time.

What’s next at LGV? Stay tuned.

Homecoming 2025!

The residents had a great time enjoying the beautiful weather and the LHS Homecoming Parade. Special thanks to B’s Market for giving us a space to set up early and have a great viewing location for the action. It was a fun afternoon for all. SHOUT OUT to Pat & B’s Market for providing a fresh fruit bowl for our residents as they waited for the parade to begin. We are pleased to have many Leopard alumni among our residents and staff. We trust it was a great All School Reunion and Homecoming Weekend 2025!

“Your Life Was a Blessing --- Your Memory a Treasure”

This beautiful tribute wall, created by staff members Sydni & London, pays special remembrance to our treasured residents who have died since July 2024. At Locust Grove Village, we are honored and blessed to have known these beautiful elders; to have cared for them; known their family; and shared in this passage of life.

God Bless You on this Memorial Day weekend as you remember the lives well lived and share in the special memories you hold dear.

It was a grand night for the Community Event celebrating Older American’s Month! There was so much to do with good food, kid games and bounce houses. The Sherriff, Officers, and Fire Department volunteers shared their evening teaching young and old alike about their vehicles and equipment. Kids enjoyed the crafts provided by the Rush County 4-H and the kids train was a hit with Trent & Suzi Worthey. You could catch couples dancing to the music of Otter Creek along with clapping and toe tapping. The staff of LGV served delicious grilled hot dogs, yummy pasta salad and cookies to over 200 persons. At the end of the night, over $1200 was donated and will be contributed to the La Crosse Elementary Playground Project. Thank you to the playground committee for their collaboration with Locust Grove Village on this awesome night! It was a beautiful evening of fun for the kids to the elders and all the community, families in between. A big shout out to all the LGV staff for their excellent teamwork to make this night a success.
