Recaps – Farm and Ranch Day and Tartan Golf Classic
Farm & Ranch Day:

From miniature horses to a performing pot-bellied pig,
Farm and Ranch Day brought all the best of country
living to Scottish Rite. Patients, neighborhood children
and staff families enjoyed an agricultural afternoon,
learning about farm animals in a hands-on environment.
Kids got to pet a wide range of animals as well as go
fishing in the catfish tank. With face paint and food in
the mix, it was truly fun for all. Thanks to all our staff
who helped make this day come to life for so many kids.

Tartan Golf Classic:
The Tartan Golf Classic teed off on a crisp and cool
Monday morning at Brook Hollow Golf Club. Teams
played a scramble-style tournament with hole-in-one
challenges along the way. This annual tournament was a
huge success thanks to all the hard work from our staff.
