Fairwinds-Brighton Court resident Richard Vawter gets a debriefing on the rules of the Electric Cart Race by Fairwinds-Redmond PrimeFit instructor Rachel Lu. The course included a station where racers had to place three flags in vases on their way to the finish line. Nearly 200 seniors representing six different Fairwinds Retirement Communities in the greater Seattle area participated in this year's Games, which included Wii Bowling, Beanbag Baseball, Balloon Volleyball, relay races and more.
