Seniors around the county are gearing up for the 2012 Haywood County Senior Games from May 7-22.

For just $10, seniors can participate in as many events as they choose in both athletic events such as shuffleboard, tennis and pickleball, and SilverArts, such as photography, painting, pottery and poetry.

Only a couple of events have an additional fee such as golf ($36) and bowling ($8.25 per competition). Each participant also receives a t-shirt and access to food at the Opening Ceremony on May 7, Ice Cream Social on May 16 and a dinner at the closing ceremony on May 22.

Registration will be April 16-20 from 9 a.m.-1 p.m. at the Senior Resource Center in Waynesville.
