The Scottish Home

Annual Picnic The Scottish Home held their 94th annual picnic on Saturday August 7th on the grounds of the Scottish Home.

Olympic Games

Since August of 2004 the Scottish Home residents have been competing in their own summer and winter Olympic Games. The opening ceremony for this year's 2010 winter games was held on Monday, February 15, followed by the first of nine events scheduled during the two week period. Residents competed in Bean Bag Olympic Ring Toss, Ice Cube Relay, Wheelchair Hockey, and Tea Kettle Curling just to name a few.
