29 Apr 2024 Superior Health & Rehab hosts 35th Annual Eggstravaganza

Giggles and excitement filled the air on March 29 when Superior Health & Rehab in Conway hosted its 35th Annual Eggstravaganza, an Easter celebration for residents, employees, their families and the community.

Several hundred people filled the festive grounds, enjoying a carnival ride, two bounce houses, the Conway train, snow cones, a cookout and cotton candy. Kids had the chance to search for 10,000 prize-filled eggs.

“It is difficult to know who had the best time—the residents, workers or kids!” said Vickey Kirkemier, who has been the director for 35 years. “The event is about the kids, and our residents love it because it allows them to ride a carnival ride and have fun with their grandkids and some great-grandkids. They are making lifetime memories at this fun community event.”

Each Good Friday, the Eggstravaganza is hosted, and the community is invited to participate. Kirkemier orders 10,000 eggs from Sunny Bunny Easter Eggs because the program provides meaningful employment to people with disabilities.

“My favorite moment was when I saw a resident interacting with a staff member and their children,” Kirkemier said. “My uncle is a resident here, and my grandkids came. This gives us the opportunity to really get very close with our staff and residents and become like family.”
