June was National Dairy Month and Celina Manor Nursing Home celebrated
the event with a few local farmers. One of the various activities included a visit
from Coldwater teen, Craig Hartings, who brought along his Mercer County
Fair show cow and two calves. Residents were invited to pet and bottle feed
the calves. Sister Michaela Mueller is pictured petting the show cow and was
surprised when Hartings told her that the cow would be giving birth to a new
calf in the new future. Everyone enjoyed homemade cookies and worked on their
milk mustaches with cartons of white and chocolate milk. Celina Manor has been
serving the community for over 28 years.
