UTICA, N.Y. -- Many came out for an accomplishment decades in the making -- the Parkway Center's 60th anniversary celebration. A holiday and anniversary party took place at Twin Ponds Golf and Country Club on Sunday.

The center serves people in Oneida and Herkimer counties, offering services for all ages, but with a focus on senior citizens.

The executive director said it all started with four women passionate about keeping seniors active.

"To say, with the consolidations and everything, that where we are 60 years later still doing that and actually expanding that whole concept, I'd say that's pretty exciting," said Parkway Center Executive Director Kelly Walters.

The Parkway Center is having an Open House on January 7.
