Hand and Foot card games at Senior Center

Posted by Staff on July 5, 2023 - 12:00pm

The Senior Center is now hosting a weekly Hand and Foot card game on Fridays at 9:30 a.m.

The game is played with multiple decks of cards and the players make “sets” with the cards in their hand. When they deplete their hand, they play the cards in their foot (a second hand of cards).

Come and learn this fun card game at the center, 132 N. Main St.
