Cedars Residents Celebrate 90th Anniversary of Corn Flakes

 

By Benny Fairchild

Back in 1996 when United Helpers was only 97 years old, residents at the Cedars Nursing Home celebrated the 90th anniversary of Kellogg's Corn Flakes, the iconic breakfast cereal, which to this day remains a favorite amongst those cared for by United Helpers.

In a room decorated with red and green balloons, the same colors as Cornelius the Rooster, residents gathered for cake and ice cream. A group consisting of people 90 and older even posed for a photo behind a banner that read, "We were here before Kellogg's." 

While the banner was making reference to the residents, it's no secret that the United Helpers organization was here before Kellogg's too.

Did you know that in addition to giving us Cornelius the Rooster, the marketing folks at Kellogg's are also responsible for Snap, Crackle, and Pop, Toucan Sam, Tony the Tiger, and Dig Em' the Frog.

Do you recognize anyone in this photo? We're pretty sure Helen Welsh is pictured in the back wearing blue, but she's the only our current staff can identify. If you recognize anyone in this picture, please be sure to let us know. :-)
