The games, held each year in the fall, are open to anyone age 50 or older. In early December each year, seniors celebrate the holidays in style by dancing, dining and enjoying entertainment at the Mayor's Holiday Festival. The Vintage Grapevine is published quarterly and distributed to places where senior citizens live, learn and enjoy their leisure years. Transportation Transportation is available for special events from Senior Centers, Dining Sites and Retirement Residences.
Transportation also is provided for medical appointments.
