Officials say they host these events every year to remind seniors that they can still have a little fun as they get older.

"To watch their faces and to watch their smile and to hear from them weeks prior even ‘we have the parade coming up’. That means so much to me because they are getting to enjoy life," Belinda Lowrance at Denison Nursing and Rehab says.

The seniors will also in enjoy a patriotic lunch of hot dogs and chips with their friends and family.
