Bradley, Illinois, Apr 06, 2013 (PRWeb.com via COMTEX) -- Heritage Woods of Dwight, a BMA affordable assisted living community, is hosting a Sheep Shearing demonstration at 2 p.m. on Tuesday, April 9.

The community, which is located at 701 E. Mazon in Dwight, Illinois, serves older adults of all incomes, including those on Medicaid, who need some help to maintain their independence.

Harold Davis of Odell, Illinois, will be demonstrating his sheep shearing skills.

"Harold has spent his life raising and shearing sheep," says Becky Gish, Director of Resident Services for Heritage Woods of Dwight.

"Our community provides older adults with a wonderful alternative to a nursing home or to struggling alone at home," says Peg Spear, Director of Marketing for Heritage Woods.
