No matter who you are or what youve ever thought about a senior center, youre likely wrong. The La Plata County Senior Center offers a haven for Durangoans of a certain age. For starters, the center has fresh and nutritious food served daily for only a few dollars. Theres tai chi, bridge, ping-pong, computer classes, driving courses, art classes and ceramics to name a few offerings. Day in and day out, dozens of Durangoans are turning back the clock at the Senior Center, which is located next to the La Plata County Fairgrounds.

Maryann Crist reaches for another forehand while playing ping
pong with a friend. Margie Padgett performs tai chi Tuesday morning. Joe Dyar brushes up on his computer skills. Stuart Shore and Betty Carroll joke while playing a bridge
tournament.
