Sassy Seniors
Seniors from Langley Park Senior Activity Center in Hyattsville were invited to play in a first ever Senior Nintendo Wii championship on June 26. These Langley Park seniors are serious about, and very good at this video-oriented action game. Doris Comfort won 1st place and Eleanor Blake won 2nd place.
Wii champions Eleanor Blake, at left, and Doris Comfort are interviewed by a WTOP reporter following their victories.
The Wii players at LPSC call themselves the Langley Park Sassy Seniors and have fun, as they say, "playing Wii games for Wii-habilitation." Wii practice is Monday, Tuesday and Thursday, and they play against each other after warm-ups. This is a FREE activity for senior age 60 or better, open to Prince George's and Montgomery County residents. The Langley Park Senior Center is open Monday-Friday from 9 am-2 pm.
