SCRANTON, LACKAWANNA CO. (WOLF) — On Friday, different senior centers in Lackawanna County went head-to-head in a game of family feud.
The Scranton, Fallbrook, Mid Valley, and Hillside senior community centers held a tournament at the Scranton location to see which center would come out on top. Hosted by Drew Popish, Governor Shapiro’s Northeast Regional Director, each location had a team that answered family feud questions. For organizers, it wasn’t just a fun activity for the seniors, it was a way to mix the centers together.
“We are all under the umbrella of United Neighborhood Centers so we try to unify those centers and make everyone aware that we have those centers and they can enjoy not just the Scranton one, but they can go to Hillside and Fallbrook and meet different people from there and see what goes on there,” said assistant director of community health and aging Chrissy Grunza.
The final round was hosted by state representative Kyle Donahue with Amanda’s Hillbillies, the team from the Clarks Summit location, taking home the trophy. They’ll hold onto it until next year because the organizers said that since this year’s event was such a success, they want to make it a yearly tradition.
