On July 19th we hope you can attend our event that will see us gather at Roberta Place Retirement Lodge on Essa Road at 9 am here in Barrie. You’ll be given one playing card to start the event at Roberta Place. Between 9:30-10:00 we’ll leave Roberta Place and make our way around Barrie to multiple retirement homes where we will be greeted by the residents hosting their own themes. You will be given a card and an opportunity to talk and have photos taken of your classic with the hosts. The more host residences you visit the better chance of a great poker hand! We will then meet back at Roberta Place Retirement Lodge by 11:30-12:00 where we will have an award ceremony and possibly a BBQ! Rock scissors paper to break ties!
