The Osage County Senior Center is currently open 8 a.m.-4 p.m. Monday through Friday, though activities have slowed down due to COVID. Exercise classes began again Monday, March 8, and will continue at 9 a.m. Mondays as chair exercise classes, and then possibly at 10 a.m. something a little different with more movement. For more information, contact the senior center at 785-528-1170.

The center hosts Mexican Train games on Tuesdays and some weeks every afternoon if enough people are interested in playing. There are books in the center library – some are free and some need to be checked out.  Also puzzles can be checked out and there is always one being worked on at the big table.

Senior commodities are distributed the second Wednesday every month at the center. Osage County citizens 60 years old or older that meet income guidelines qualify for the program. To signup, income verification and a one-month waiting period is required. The commodities are ordered one month in advance. For more information to determine if individuals or households qualify for the program, contact the senior center. Osage County citizens unable to come to Osage City to pick up commodities are asked to call the senior center.

For more information, contact Tammy Fager, Osage County Senior Center director, at 785-528-1170, or 604 Market St., Osage City, Kan.
