The Manitoba Liquor and Lotteries 55-Plus Games Kick-off in Brandon today.
Portage la Prairie will be well represented with teams participating in baseball, cribbage, and 5-pin bowling. Portage bowlers Gaylene Morton, Archie Hunter, Kathy Lilly, Judy Roberts and Bob Jones make up the 5-pin team. Morton says it's a familiar event for them.
"We enter it almost every year. So it comes up, and it's eligable for anyone to enter. So we entered a team."
Morton says they always have a great time, and it's quite competitive.
"Well there's that aspect to it. Sometimes we do well, and sometimes we don't do so well at all, but we always have a good lunch."
The Games wrap up on June 16th.
