A day in the park provided a treat Friday for about 500 seniors who are regular patrons of the Oklahoma County Senior Nutrition Program.
They were shuttled from meal sites across the county to a picnic at Joe B. Barnes Regional Park in Midwest City.
The menu featured hot links and watermelon, and box lunches were sent home with each guest.
A band played music for dancing and games were played.
About 200 military veterans among the guests were honored in a special ceremony, with a display that honored deceased veterans as well.
