Senior Bridge

Every February the Rowan-Salisbury Senior Games kicks off its series of events with the Silver Arts Duplicate Bridge competition.

Each county in N.C. holds Arts and Athletic events in which seniors, ages 55 and up, compete.  For more information about the game, call Phyllis Klutz at Parks and Recreation 704-216-7780.
