Wesbury’s Senior Golf Scramble

Wesbury’s Golf Scramble is the only scramble in the area that caters to senior golfers. While all golfers are welcome, this event especially seeks golfers who are over age 50. The event takes place at the Meadville Country Club in June. Included are a continental breakfast, Picnic Lunch at the Turn, and Pub Fare to follow the Scramble.  Special give-a-ways and unique prizes are also presented at this event. The scramble is one of three major special events that brings in more than $10,000 annually for The Wesbury Foundation. All proceeds are designated to assist with continual renovations of Grace Rehabilitation and Health Center.

Wesbury’s Annual Chicken BBQ & Craft Fair

Each year in the middle of summer, Wesbury pulls together a festival that attracts close to 5,000 visitors. Held on campus, this free event is always the third Sunday of July from 11 a.m. until 5 p.m. It includes a Family Fun Zone with games and train rides, outdoor and indoor entertainment, crafters and other vendors, and an Antique and Classic Car Cruise In. In addition, the Sunset Auxiliary holds its annual rummage, book and bake sale. Of course, there are chicken and rib dinners on sale that includes several side dishes and homemade pie or cake.

Please note due to COVID-19: For the Annual Chicken BBQ Wesbury is hosting a picnic exclusively for residents and their loved ones.  

Wesbury’s Senior Tribute Banquet & Auction

We all know someone who amazes us with their talent, generosity and selflessness. They may be a friend, a neighbor, a relative, or someone from your workplace or church. Each year, Wesbury seeks to find extraordinary individuals, aged 65 or over; or extraordinary groups or organizations with members of any age. The nominees are honored by allowing Wesbury to tell their story and applaud their contributions at Annual Senior Tribute Recognition Dinner and Auction held on the second Thursday in October. This event is truly inspiring and not only spotlights these unsung heroes, but also serves as a fundraiser for Wesbury’s benevolent care fund, which helps support residents who have outlived their financial resources and require charitable care.  Please take a moment and think about those who have made a difference in your life or the life of someone you know.
