“Hey, good looking, what’ve you got cooking?” DJCandyman sang as Charles Lloyd and another senior danced in front of the Brewers Bay Community Centreon Friday.

Meanwhile, other seniors sold local food and drinks, or kept their eyes on bread baking in a clay oven and a coal pot.

Friday’s cultural day was among several activities held in observance of Senior Citizens Month, which has been successful so far, said Sherma George, supervisor of aging and disabilities at the Department of Social Development.

Instead of hosting a regular opening ceremony, the department opted to have an old-time prayer meeting. “It was well received and appreciated by the seniors,” she said.

Senior centres around the territory held in-house activities and invited visitors from other centres, Ms. George said.

For 80 VI seniors, the month will wrap up with a cruise this week.
