In keeping with the theme “Never Too Old to Play,” the Hays AARP chapter hosted bingo games with plenty of fun and prizes during Saturday’s 2012 Seniors Celebration in the Hays Mall.

May is National Older Americans Month and Elder Law Month.

The sixth annual event drew several hundred area senior citizens who enjoyed other entertainment with live music from “The Monday Night Gals” and Wes Windholz, as well as vocalist Walt Pennington, who was also the emcee.

Twenty-five booths lined the center and north end of The Mall interior offering information and giveaways of particular interest to people ages 55 and older.

The Kansas Lions Sight Foundation mobile screening unit in the parking lot offered hearing, vision, blood pressure and blood sugar screenings.

President John F. Kennedy designated May as Senior Citizens Month in 1963.
