Seniors month activities in Horsham have proved a resounding success, with afternoon teas, displays, a riverside walk and Monday's Country Concert at the Lutheran Church Hall.
Horsham and District U3A, Neighbourhood House, Horsham Historical Society, Heart Foundation Horsham Riverside Walkers, and Wimmera Libraries have been among those hosting events to celebrate positive ageing.
Five local community groups successfully applied for Council grants of up to $300 each to bring together our senior community and enjoy some time out and about.
"We are delighted to give grants to these community groups so they can showcase the important role they play in our community, and provide fun and worthwhile activities for our seniors," said Acting Mayor Brian Klowss.
"All events are free, and Horsham Rural City Council is especially grateful to the Victorian State Government for funding the Seniors Country Concert."
The Victorian Seniors Festival is a major state-wide festival that runs from 1 to 31 October every year.
