Huntsman Senior Games

Well, I marched in the parade of athletes at the HSG-Huntsman Senior Games last night here in our town. My husband (photo on the right) is a co-chairman of the archery section. It's the first time to have archery in Utah's Senior Games for athletes 50+. There are almost 10,000 participants from all over the world and in about 25 different sports. Way to go Sr. Citizens! Next Monday is the archery competition. Allen won't be competing but is organizing the event for about 30 archers in recurve/target archery. It's been his hobby since his college days and he has make it a life long past time. 

Anyway, no one was here to represent Archery in the parade so I volunteered. It was fun to march with my hubby at the beginning of the parade of athletes (see photo below) since Archery is first alphabetically. We waved flags and our hands at the assembled audience, and felt like real Olympics.















Here's some photos of the opening event, complete with High School band (see below), fireworks, speakers, etc. at Dixie State College. It was a fun evening.
