Our Colorful Spring

To celebrate the arrival of spring, Wolverine Crossing residents participated in the annual Festival of Colors, or the Holi Festival, held each year at the Krishna Temple in Spanish Fork. Saturday and Sunday were spent enjoying yummy Indian food, touring the temple, listening to some great music and most importantly throwing colored powder all over friends to celebrate spring. For more information on the festival, click here.

Check out some great pictures from our residents below:
