The Villages of Farragut came up with a nice alternative to direct contact with mothers on Mothers Day, at its senior living residence — which, of course, was due to COVID-19 concerns.
An eight-vehicle parade, which gathered in the parking lot of farragutpress, proceeded up 230 Village Commons Blvd. toward The Villages to honor their mother, grandmother and great-grandmother — all Villages residents — Sunday morning, May 10.
Parade vehicles were decorated with posters, balloons and other festive markings as relatives gave enthusiastic waves, cheers and “I love you” shout-outs to their mothers, and other Villages mothers, who gathered in the front decks and porches of the facility to enjoy the attention.
The parade made three passes along the gathering of mothers and other seniors.
