Senior citizens dressed in straw hats and painted their faces to join in the annual festivities at the Montgomery County Friendship Center in New Caney.
The local center held its annual Harvest Festival with a scarecrow theme for all senior citizens in Montgomery County.
“Each year, the Friendship Centers across the county hold special events and our yearly event is the Harvest Fest,” Kathleen Costine, activity director, said. “The senior citizens from all over enjoy coming to New Caney, and our seniors here love going to the other centers for special activities.”
Roy and Wilma Jackson, longtime residents of New Caney, stated they enjoy the Friendship Center and the activities that are held at each location.
“We have been coming to the Friendship Center for the last seven to eight years. We go around the county to participate in the different events because it is fun and it gives us something to do; it allows us to get out of the house,” the Jacksons said.
The couple said that they are at the Friendship Center in New Caney twice a week playing bingo and socializing with their friends.
