It was a warm sunny day Sept. 9 when 40 seniors registered for the Saskatchewan Seniors Fitness Association 55+ games day at the senior centre in St. Walburg.
Arriving visitors were greeted and registered by Gladys Carnell, Inge Knopf and Donna Hall. Coffee and muffins were available for those who came from a distance. Visitors were form Rosetown, Unity, Cut Knife, Neilburg, Hafford, Radisson, Lloydminster, Frenchman Butte, Maidstone, Turtleford and St. Walburg.

Afternoon lunch was served before out of town visitors started their journey home. My card partner, Vera Hintz, and I thoroughly enjoyed the day. Thank you St. Walburg seniors for hosting the event.
