VALLEY CITY, N.D. (NewsDakota.com) – The Barnes County Senior Center Advisory Board agreed that it would be safe to begin holding activities at the Senior Center starting next week.

Director Pat Hansen said we will go back to the schedule we had prior to the pandemic. People can come in and play Whist on Mondays and Wednesdays and Pinochle on Tuesdays and Thursdays. We will also begin Bingo on Friday the 16th. We have enough seating available to provide adequate separation between participants. We will also have Bone Builders exercise classes starting next week. Classes are held at 9:30am on Wednesdays and Fridays. The Senior Center is serving in person meals.

Hansen said the only activities we will need to postpone for a while are the evening meals. We have too many people for the evening meals to allow adequate spacing. If you have questions you can call the Senior Center at 845-4300.
