Wheatland Lodge hosts carnival for Seniors' Week

Wheatland Lodge celebrated Seniors' Week with a special carnival.

The lodge's residents participated in games and activities on Wednesday (June 4), with the event being put together by volunteers from Strathmore StoreFront School.

The event also featured bingo, volleyball, and a food truck offering cold, sweet treats.

There were also a few races, including an inflatable costume foot race, and a drag race between members of the Over the Hill Scooter Gang.

With around one third of Strathmore's population being above the age of 65, Seniors' Week has become a popular event throughout town.

Other Seniors' Week events included a live music show outside The Vault Cultural Collective, and a snack party at the Lord of All Lutheran Church.
