That's the way Citrus Park's acting group, the Gray 90's, sees it. Troupe members are dressed as Fat Tuesday for the park's Feb. 27 Mardis Gras parade. I worked hard to be retired. For 16 years, this parade of color and costumes has danced its way through the park. It's a time to be active, creative and all-around silly.
Residents watch from lawn chairs.
Visiting grandkids are targets for tossed candy and beads. It's a parade where Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs chase each other in circles in front of a judges stand. Ladies softball players dressed as clowns hit water balloons in the street with bats. Ruth Gerber sprints as she turns the corner in the base-running event in the Senior Olympics. Like most adults-only communities, Citrus Park offers a variety of physical activities for residents, no matter their health or fitness level.
