Oasis, Silver Fox Fitness and
their many sponsors provide a day for Seniors at the Logan County
Fair
[August 03, 2025]
On Friday morning at the Logan County Fair, Georgia Allison of
Silver Fox fitness led seniors in a full hour of chair exercises as
part of the Senior Day. While a lot of people are allergic to
exercise this group was having fun!
Georgia has a contagious smile and zest for life. Her enthusiasm
leads you to do things that you think are simple but are really
designed to help with range of motion and strengthen your muscles.
The hour-long portion of the whole day of activities flew by and
Allison kept everyone busy the entire time.
Allison Offers Silver Fox Fitness through the Oasis Senior Center in
Lincoln. Check the Oasis website for class schedules and prepare to
be cured of your exercise allergy.
Friday temperatures were cooler than what they had been the first
few days of the fair, and that may have brought out the large number
of senior citizens, some with their younger counterparts in toe, for
a morning filled with fun and laughter at Senior Day Bingo.
Bingo is provided by the Oasis Senior Center in Lincoln with the
help of many sponsors.
The Oasis Executive Director Krista Miller and her staff spent most
of the actual game portion of the morning calling and verifying
cards.

Sponsors from various senior organizations that service Logan
County set up tables with information and treats for seniors to
pick up. And they bring all the prizes for the winners to choose
from.
This year Miller had all the sponsors come on stage and the
seniors greeted them with an enthusiastic welcome, after all,
they were the ones that made this event happen.
Things moved along quickly so there was time to play several games
and possibly win one of the many prizes that were supplied by the
senior services organization sponsors.
While bingo is an individual activity you can stay "anonymous" while
playing in a large group, but make no mistake, adults and kids alike
were very serious about winning. Every eye seemed glued to their own
bingo card BUT many were helping make sure their neighbors didn't
miss a chance to win.
While watching adults demonstrate by deed, how to be kind and
helpful, it reminded us that it is our responsibility to teach our
kids how to win and lose gracefully. We can make a difference every
day, even in small things.
