Senior Games/SilverArts winners announced
The 2023 Senior Games/Silver Arts enjoyed a two-month exhibit during March and April at the downtown public library. There were several new participants who joined the ranks of the long-time participants to make most of the categories very competitive. Thank you to all the judges who helped select the medal winners and to Winston-Salem Writers for again judging the literary competition.
The final competition, the Performance competition, will be held on Friday, May 19, at 6:30 p.m. at Redemption Church, 400 Harvey Street, Winston-Salem. The event is free and family friendly.
