Murray, KY –
Murray will host the 2011 and 2012 Kentucky Senior Games. Murray Convention and Visitors Bureau Executive Director Erin Carrico says this is the first time in more than a decade Murray has received the bid. Officials expect more than 300 participants for 2011 and between 500 and 800 for 2012. The growth in participants between the two years is due to the fact that 2012 is a qualifying year for the National Senior Games. This year the state games are in Paducah.
