Please join us for The Eighth Annual Treasure Show at The Pines Senior and Assisted Living in Richfield, MN. The Pines families dig through closets and boxes of treasures from the past to prepare a display that represents the life of their loved one.  Bouquet Day on Wednesday, April 13 between 3:00 and 6:00 PM the displays will be open to the public. In the past we have had Steve Lindgren, President of the Richfield Chamber of Commerce come to see the gallery of displays.  We also have seen friends from the Richfield Community Center, as well as employees from our neighbors M&I Bank and the Woodlake Clinic among our visitors. At 6:00 PM that day, the staff will dismantle the displays and return items to the residents.  It is a bittersweet moment as we dismantle the lobby, but the joy of sharing the lives of our residents lingers in the friendships at The Pines. Please join us to enjoy our residents as well as cookies, coffee and flowers every week on Bouquet Day.  Most importantly, plan to join us on the 13^th of April between 3:00 and 6:00 to see this incredible gallery depicting the lives of our residents.

The Pines is located at 400 West 67^th Street (behind McDonalds at 67^th and Lyndale) in Richfield, MN.
Please call 612-861-3331 for more information about this special event.
