14 FOUR SEASONS BREEZE | NOVEMBER 2019
It's that time of year again — the city of Hemet sponsors
the Hemet Senior Olympics, aka Hemet OLDlympics.
(Yeah, I don't like that name either, 'cuz we already
know we're old!) Anyway, many Four Seasons residents
participated in the track and field events, billiards, bench
press, bingo, bowling, chair volleyball, cribbage, golf,
horseshoes, lawn bowling, pinochle, scrabble, shuffleboard,
tennis, Texas hold'em, tournament blackjack, pickleball,
ping pong, tennis, and swimming. It's so much fun to see
these amazing seniors 50+ on the move! Literally! This is
the 35th year that Hemet has sponsored this event to which
many of our residents look forward to every year.
The very last event is the presentation of medals, followed
by a wonderful banquet. The organizers work very hard
to make sure each event is fun for the participants. They
are patient and encouraging and it's not that far to travel!
Check out the adjacent photo of some of the Four Seasons
residents who participated.
If you are interested in participating in 2020, it will be
held in September/October, and you can find out more
information at the Valleywide Recreation and Park District,
(951) 927-6672 or (951) 487-9234. C'mon join the fun and
challenges! ~ Eileen Gilbert-Antoine
