A pair of birthday parties filled the Perry Perk with the sounds of merriment Friday morning in downtown Perry.
The Society of Retired Experts (SORE) cheered Ray Harden on his special day by fattening his Palin Pig, and Doug Latham was given birthday blessings before his skydiving adventure in the afternoon.
In the west room, the Women of Wonder (WOW) coffee group, celebrating four years since its founding, feted Karol Mueller with coffee and handmade birthday cards.
The lilting song of the ladies was followed by the baser tones of the male moiety.
