Lanny Ford, President, is not one to sit still and do nothing. He is an active member of the Grand Prairie Senior Center and enjoys spending time with friends that play pool . A few days ago, several of them entered a tournament against the seniors at the Irving Heritage Senior Center. It was a tough battle, but since there were no spectators, we can only speculate how bloody the fight was.
The Grand Prairie team has challenged the Irving team to meet in Grand Prairie on Friday, April 24, 11 am. The games will go on as long as there is anyone standing. Spectators are welcome and the fee is $5 for players and watchers. Lunch is included in the fee.
The Grand Prairie Senior Center is located at 925 Conover, 972-264-4975
