Yukon Parks & Recreation hosted the annual “Spooky Senior Social” on Tuesday night, Oct. 24 inside the Dale Robertson Center, 1200 Lakeshore.
The special event – geared for Yukon’s active older adults – proved to be “One Magical Night” full of tricks and treats.
Attendees dressed to impress for a costume parade while enjoying entertainment provided by illusionist Keith Coast. Costume winners were the Statue of Liberty, Green with Envy and The Flash.
Spooky Senior Social sponsors were OU Health, Nothing Bundt Cakes, Yukon Vet Hospital, and Victorian Estates.
Yukon’s Dale Robertson Center provides seniors ages 55 years and above a place to experience an active lifestyle.
Lunch is served Monday through Friday and van service is available to transport participants to and from the center.
More than 35 activities are programmed weekly, including five dance classes, five physical fitness classes, trips, classes in the arts, crafts, board games, and cards.
The Spooky Senior Social was the second event in Yukon’s Halloween “Triple Treat.”
The Mummy & Son Masquerade was Oct. 23 at the Jackie Cooper Gym, 1024 E Main; and Spooksville will be 3-9 p.m. this Saturday, Oct. 28 at the Yukon Community Center, 2200 S Holly.
