Senior Games 2021 Senior Games is a year-round health and wellness program for persons age 50 and better, offering 65 athletic events and 35 art categories, including performing and literary arts, from which to choose. The 2021 Senior Games was a modified version of the annual tradition, due to the pandemic, with most inperson events conducted outdoors. There were a few exceptions, such as swimming and bowling, and other events were conducted virtually. The time period of the games was extended to allow multiple days for larger events, keeping participation under the COVID guidelines. What wasn’t different was the friendship, fun and fellowship that comes along with every Senior Games. The same spirit of competition and camaraderie was enjoyed by 272 athletes over age 50 at 11 venues in our community. We are grateful to Jean Latucci, our 2021 Senior Games Ambassador, for her leadership and commitment, to the Senior Games Advisory Committee for leading us through this new situation and to all the sponsors who helped support the Games. Athletes, artists and all competitors, you have our admiration, and we extend our congratulations for a job well done! See you next year.
