WESTCHESTER, OH -- Watermelon in the stores is a sure sign of summer... and a group of local seniors took advantage of those watermelons to help them usher in the first day of summer in a unique way.

Residents at Liberty Place, an Anthem Memory Care community, used the green and white striped orbs to strike pins in a summer Solstice bowling contest at the community located at 7200 Heritagespring Drive, West Chester, OH.

“Our residents are energized by trying new things,” said Amy Snow, life engagement director for Liberty Place. “Celebrating summer brings back happy memories, and using watermelons in an unusual way is pure fun.”
