Kiowa County Senior Center contest was something to laugh at

More than 10 joke-tellers took to the stage earlier this month at the Kiowa County Senior Center in Greensburg in celebration of National Joke Day.

When the laughs were over, Randy Rinker was the first-place winner, followed by Bob Kilgore in second place.

“I am not for sure it really was National Joke Day, but I read it somewhere on the internet so we ran with it,” said Kari Kyle, director of the senior center. “We are always trying to find ways to have fun here.”

Those in attendance (more than 75) enjoyed a special meal sponsored by Ron and Roberta Seiler, during which the jokers came up to the front to tell their prepared jokes.

“I didn’t think we would have more than three or four people participate,” Kyle said. “But we had 11 contestants. It was a lot of fun.”
