Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

The duplicated bridge club meets each and every Tuesday and Wednesday at the Mower County Senior Center in Austin, starting at 11:30 a.m. sharp.

Players come from area cities including Mason City and Northwood, Iowa, Albert Lea, Rose Creek, and Austin.

This week’s Tuesday winners were:

• First place, Vandy Newman and Ron Peters

• Second place, Barb Rofshus and John Leisen

• Third place, Edna Knobbe and Gail Schmidt

• Fourth place, Barb and Orrin Roisen

•Fifth place, Joyce Crowe and John Buley

Wednesday winners from Mason City were:

•Fourth place, Rick Stroup and John Leisen

A reminder is in order in regard to weather. Anytime schools are closed, so also is the Senior Center.

We invite all bridge players to join us either day.We are happy to see a few new faces at our games.
