The McMinnville Civic Center Silver Sneakers exercise program celebrated a significant anniversary recently. The program, geared toward local seniors, began five years ago on January xx, according to wellness and aquatics manager Justin Scott.“Our original start date was January 22 five years ago,” said Scott. “It was kind of a big deal for this to be the fifth year, so they wanted to have a little party to commemorate that.”Scott said the program has been a big success and has experienced considerable growth.“The participation has been awesome,” Scott said.
