Last week, Oct. 23rd, I attended a competition of physical exercise for the seniors. It was held by Seoul Association of Senior Welfare Centers at the KBS Sports World building. The Seoul Senior Welfare Center where our sketching group, Seoul Urban Sketchers, was invited for the exhibition last year. Therefore I thanked for it and registered as supporters for the players. Because it was my first visit to the big building and to participate in such supporting event I felt excited expecting for the performance and sketching too. It began on 10 am and ended on 4 pm. From the start the big hall filled by supporters from 35 welfare centers in Seoul and kept cheering all the teams. All the while I enjoyed both sketching and joyful music and various dances. Dynamic energy from the stage and the hall made my pen move on papers dancing with the beats and beautiful melodies.

Though I couldn't spend much time for supporting itself I thought being there and capturing their energetic features would be a great record for the performance of senior members from all districts where I was living together. And what a big joy that our team has won 2nd prize for the supporters! Thank you all the players and big supporters!

강서구 등촌동 KBS 스포츠월드 아레나에서 열린 시니어 생활체육 경연대회는 감동적인 장면으로 가득찼습니다. 포크댄스, 한국무용, 난타, 라인댄스, 사물놀이, 태권도... 와 더불어  우정출연한 서울경찰 홍보단의 역동적 무대는 일품이었습니다. 노익장을 과시하며 열정적으로 삶을 불태워가는 에너지에 찬 시니어 공연은 "나이는 숫자에 불과하다"는 것을 실감케하는 멋진 무대였습니다. 스케치도 시종일관 흥에 겨운 퍼포먼스였습니다.
