🦆 LADIES AND GENTLEMEN... WE PRESENT TO YOU... THE FIRST-EVER ACT LIKE A DUCK CONTEST! 🦆

Competitors waddled, quacked, flapped, and gave it their all for the chance to walk away with one of our famous 6-foot-tall ducks!

After a fierce battle of duck-like determination, we are excited to congratulate 🏆 CARRIE 🏆 as our very first Act Like a Duck Contest Champion!

From impressive waddles to award-worthy quacks, our competitors proved that you're never too old to get a little silly and have a lot of fun.

🦆 And just like that… the ducks have flown south for another year! 🦆

What an absolutely quack-tastic Closing Ceremony for the Bedford County Young at Heart Games! From the first event to the final farewell, our athletes proved that fun, friendship, and a little friendly competition never go out of style.

We laughed, cheered, celebrated victories, made new friends, and created memories that will last long after the last duck has waddled away. None of this would have been possible without our incredible participants, volunteers, sponsors, board members, and supporters who helped make this year all it was quacked up to be!

Until next year, keep your feathers fluffed, your spirits high, and remember… you’re never too old to make a splash! 💛🦆🏅

’Twas the day before closing at the firehall so bright,
Not a duck was out of place, everything is just right.

Gretchen’s elves were hard at work with plenty left to do,
Setting tables, chairs, and ducks in yellow, pink, and blue.

The programs are stacked, The Young at Heart crew has the whole place packed!

Tomorrow’s the day we celebrate all season long,
With laughter, friendship, and maybe a few silly songs.

So fluff up those feathers and get ready to play,
The Closing Ceremony is almost here, what a wonderful day!

🕤 Doors open at 9:30 AM
🕙 Program begins at 10:00 AM

We’ll see all our Young at Heart friends at the Alum Bank firehall tomorrow! 💛🦆

The Young at Heart Games are about more than competition, they’re about empowerment, friendship, confidence, and proving that every stage of life deserves celebration. These incredible women are role models for younger generations and a reminder that you are never “too old” to stay active, try something new, laugh loudly, and make unforgettable memories.

🎳 We had a strikingly good time at bowling for the Bedford County Young at Heart Games at the Bedford Elks Country Club! From gutter balls to perfect shots, the laughs were rolling almost as much as the bowling balls. 😂

A huge thank you to all of our amazing participants and volunteers for making these games right up our alley. 💙🎳

🌟 BOARD MEMBER SPOTLIGHT 🌟

Meet Bobbi Howsare; Vice President and Food Committee member for the Bedford County Young at Heart Games! Bobbi is also an Account Executive for UPMC Home Health and Family Hospice Services and has proudly been involved with the Games for over 10 years. 💙

Bobbi says she was fortunate enough to have someone ask her to join the board over a decade ago, and ever since, it has been “a great blessing.” What started as an opportunity to meet new people in the community quickly turned into a passion for helping make the Young at Heart Games bigger and better every single year.

One of Bobbi’s favorite parts about serving on the board is the teamwork behind the scenes. She loves watching everyone come together to create an event that offers something for everyone, from card games to softball and everything in between. To her, the Young at Heart Games truly have it all. 🦆

Bobbi believes events like the Games are so important because they show older adults that they are a valued part of the community. She especially loves seeing local high school students volunteer and connect with participants, proving that age does not matter when it comes to friendship, support, and community spirit. ❤️

A moment that has always stuck with Bobbi is watching seniors “live life to the fullest” while cheering one another on during competitions. She says seeing teammates help and encourage each other “hits her every time.”

Her favorite event? Softball! 🥎
This year was especially exciting because it was the first year she was able to help with the event. Bobbi says hearing all the hooting, hollering, and support each team gives one another is something truly special.

If she had to describe the Young at Heart Games in just three words, Bobbi would choose:
✨ Fun
✨ Fellowship
✨ Teamwork

Outside of the Games, many people may not know that Bobbi comes from a racing family! You can often find the Bechtel family racing at the Bedford Fairgrounds Speedway on Friday nights. 🏁

One of the biggest life lessons Bobbi has learned through the Games is that “age is just a number” and that you are never too old to play. She also says one of the things she loves most about Bedford County is the beauty of the area and the people who live here, especially how everyone comes together to help during times of need.

When asked why someone should volunteer or participate in the Games, Bobbi shared that you will make friendships that last a lifetime. She says nearly everyone she meets who participates tells her how much they love being part of the Games.

And for anyone thinking about joining next year, Bobbi has one message:
“Go ahead… you have nothing to lose, just more laughs, fellowship, and full bellies.” 😊

Thank you, Bobbi, for over a decade of dedication, passion, and heart poured into the Bedford County Young at Heart Games! 👏💙
