Perry Senior Center

THE PERRY Senior Citizens Center

Perry’s Senior Citizens Center was started in the 1960s by a group of active seniors who wanted a place to gather and socialize. From meeting in a church to a little rented space to the building donated by the Perry Ministerial Alliance where the center is today, the Senior Citizens Center has been open to anyone ages 50 and over for many decades. The center has a wide range of games and activities constantly going on. Participants don’t pay any fees or join any membership. The center is just open all week to seniors who would like to come and be active and enjoy themselves. There are games, internet, newspapers, books, and complimentary coffee and cookies. Every day at 1:00 p.m. there is a group activity, such as a pitch game or another card game. There is always a puzzle out to be worked on. Tuesdays and Thursdays, the seniors play pitch at the center. On Wednesdays, they have a bingo game. On Friday mornings, they practice painting and create the art that covers the colorful center walls, and on the 4th Monday of the month, there is an open mic music night. Seniors from all over come to the center to perform country music or dance or just listen and have fun. “We play games, and I try to encourage people to meet their friends down here,” said Michelle McCrary, director of the Senior Citizens Center. “Drink my coffee, and let me clean up after. We’d love to have you. This is yours. It’s your place.” “The seniors that come here stay pretty active,” added McCrary. “A body in motion stays in motion. If I can get somebody into the door, they’ll come back.” The Perry Senior Citizens Center is funded by the United Fund, the City of Perry, and generous donations from Perry citizens. The center is located at 309 7th Street in Perry and it is open Monday through Friday from 7:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. For more information, contact Michelle McCrary at (580) 336-4676.

WE HAVE AN AIRPORT?

This is a common response we receive when talking to people in Perry.

When driving by, we may look like an obscure set of buildings with a strange looking light tower in the middle of oil wells and farmland but this is far from the case. The airport is located 7 miles north of the City of Perry, East side of the road, on US 77 Highway. The Perry Municipal Airport has been a part of the community as the Noble Army Air eld since February 11, 1942.

Since its inception, it has helped train some of the Airmen of WWII in the Fairchild PT-19 and Boeing PT-17 Stearman. The Noble Army Air eld was deactivated at the drawdown of WWII and would eventually become the Perry Municipal Airport. Holding to its original purpose, the Perry Municipal Airport continues to provide the military with the runway needed to help train future Air Force pilots in the T-6 Texan II from Vance Air Force Base in Enid, OK.

As a part of the National Airspace System, we are a joint e ort between the City of Perry, Federal Aviation Administration and Oklahoma Aeronautics Commission with the common goal to serve the users of the United States National Airspace System, both military and civilian. We provide 24 hour fuel 7 days a week, 365 days a yea r and services to travelers who are landing here to visit the City of Perry, neighboring towns and townships or those who are just passing through.

We have 5 city owned hangars and 16 privately owned hangars that are home to 2 aerial application businesses and a total of 26 based aircraft.

Our airport also provides indirect support for Emergency Medical Services by providing the runway and fuel needed for Life Flight Aircraft to operate should anyone in our city need moved rapidly to another hospital for specialized medical attention.

If you nd yourself driving North on US 77 and see the row of buildings with the beacon tower, feel free to stop in for a visit and grab a cup of co ee and a snack and watch the airplanes!
