This is a special place for Kyle and his family. As a child, Kyle along with his sister Susan, and their cousins Tara, Darren and Leanne would play children's bingo there on summer afternoons to pass the time...and win some free candy! His grandparents Ralph and Laurette Yearsley were also members there.
Funny enough, Kristen's grandparents used to try to get her and her brother Kyle to go up there to play bingo too, but being the non-joiners that they were, they would always refuse to go.
We sometimes wonder if we would have met as children if Kristen and her brother would have gone to play too...
INTERESTING INFO -
In doing some research on the venue we found out that the Seniors Hall actually used to be a dance hall from the 1930's thru to the 1960's.
We found this great book online thats gives a brief history of it.
Scroll to pages 91-92 of this link...LETS DANCE
