CAMPBELL HALL—The Orange County Senior Games took off on Sept. 28 with opening ceremonies at Thomas Bull Memorial Park in Campbell Hall. About 200 senior citizens gathered for coffee and sweets, the opening ceremony, and to participate in a one-mile walk scheduled later.
With officials on the stage, an honor guard began the event, followed by the national anthem and “God Bless America” sung by local celebrity Sergeant Mary Kay Messenger. Catie Gordon, 9, ended the ceremony with her rendition of “Neverland.”
Vince Poloniak served on the committee for games and said the week-long activities offer some good exercise with something different for everyone and an opportunity to mix with peers. “It’s a good way to meet other seniors in Orange County.”
