This year, the treats are delivered

For 22 years, Gordy's Hi-Hat - and later, the Warming House - has supplied the residents of Sunnyside Health Care Center with free ice cream at least once a summer. Most years, the residents are walked and wheeled down the hill from the nursing home adjacent to the hospital to enjoy their treats and an outing. This year residents could not go to the Warming House because of Covid-19 restrictions, "so the Warming House came to us," said activities director Toni Hubbell. At left and above, Sever Lundquist, the third-generation of his family to help manage the longtime local restaurant, brought the Gordy's van up with ice cream and Sunnyside staff members brought the frozen treats inside to be enjoyed by residents including Andy Coathup, at far left, among others.
