Change Announced For Windsor Event

WINDSOR, CT — Windsor officials are stressing an important last-minute change ahead of this week’s Senior Olympics: the event will now take place entirely at the Windsor Senior Center, not its originally planned site.

The Windsor Senior Center’s Senior Olympics will be held Friday, Feb. 6, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the L.P. Wilson Community Center, also known as the Windsor Senior Center, located at 599 Matianuck Ave. in Windsor. Organizers say the location has been officially updated and all participants should report directly to the senior center.

The indoor event, inspired by the Winter Games, is open to both Windsor residents and non-residents and is designed as a full day of friendly competition, laughter, and prizes. Officials emphasized that no activities will take place elsewhere and that the senior center is the sole location for the event.

Participants will take part in a mix of individual and team events. Individual games include reindeer games, frisbee toss, stack attack, marshmallow madness, and other lighthearted challenges. Team events will include bocce, beanbag toss, and chair volleyball.

Lunch and refreshments are included with registration, with pizza, salad, and dessert provided. Transportation will be available for Dial-A-Ride members.

Medals will be awarded to event winners, and additional prizes will be given out, including recognition for the most spirited team.

Advance registration was required by Jan. 30.

Because of the Senior Olympics, all regularly scheduled senior center programming will be canceled on Friday, Feb. 6, according to organizers.
