In celebration of Mother’s Day this Sunday, the campus of Perry Wellness Center is filled with the sight of bright pink floral helium balloons. They stir gently in the spring breezes (or bounce more actively in today’s wind gusts).

The appearance of the balloons began as part of a Rudy’s Happy Patch Market display of hanging baskets for Mother’s Day.  Many customers wanted to add a balloon to their gift, so additional balloons were filled and attached to the remaining baskets.

PWC founder and director Stuart Perry has been pleased with customer response, saying, “I am happy to see that some of our customers wanted to present a colorful balloon with their hanging basket for Mother’s Day. We have learned to provide an additional gift for special occasion gift giving.”

On a gray spring morning, the pink balloons offer charming bursts of color to greet passers-by and provide a gentle reminder of this weekend’s special day.
