Members of the Horton Senior Citizens Center took a tour of the Werner Wagon Works on Tuesday, May 5. We enjoyed seeing some “works in progress” and hearing about all of the wagons that were built in Horton and shipped all over the U.S.A. Donnie and his wife Connie Werner have significant knowledge from building or refurbishing antique wagons. Many thanks to them both for taking the time to show us their business and answering all our questions.

The Horton Senior Citizens are happy to have new chairs and blinds! They arrived last week. Many thanks to Larry Paulsen, Phil Wiley and Dean Mercer for getting the blinds installed and also to Janice Langdon for helping to get the chairs unwrapped and set up in the center. We would not have been able to make these improvements without the generous donations from our friends.

The Horton Senior Citizens Center has been closed some days this week due to illnesses and outside activities. The fun stuff was an “Our Gang” bus trip to Kansas City to see a play on Wednesday. Prayers go out to those who are fighting various ailments or recovering from surgeries.
