Our May 1 Closing Ceremonies Luau was an incredible way to wrap up this year’s games!

From the delicious food catered by Green River BBQ, to the wonderful music from the Hendersonville Ukulele Group that set the perfect island mood, the evening was filled with fun, laughter, and great memories. The Tryon Line Dancers also kept the energy going and didn’t miss a beat!

We would also like to congratulate Noreen Howell and Kyle West for being the recipients of our very first “Spirit of the Games” Award!

A huge thank you goes out to all of our participants, volunteers, and supporters who helped make this season so special.

And thank you to our Platinum Sponsors : AdventHealth, Town of Columbus, and Polk County Council on Aging, along with our Bronze Sponsor, Courthouse Crafts, for your generous support.

It was truly a wonderful celebration and a fantastic end to an amazing season!
