Our Mower County Seniors travelers were invited to an annual Winter Coffee Party/Travel Show this past week.

It’s always a fun time when folks can get together and share in fellowship and some goodies and hot beverages.

A calendar of trips planned along with sign-ups were available.

Carol Ann Milner, Cheryl Block, Bob Finneseth, were drawn for prizes.

Sign-ups have begun with many 2016 trips already filling up. The monthly senior letter is sent to members and also is available at the south entrance of the Mower County Senior Center under the canopy.

Other trips are still in the planning stages and will announced later. Travel is open to the public. The Travel Office is located at 400 Third Ave. NE. Travel number is 507-438-3946.
