More than 80 people from the Dayton, Rural Valley, and Elderton area attended the

nature in addition to entertaining the seniors with his ventriloquist presentation
that included assistance by “George Washington.”
Swogger is the senior pastor at the Church of God in Distant, PA. He is an
accomplished vocalist and performs at various local events.
State Representative Donna Oberlander addressed the crowd with tears as she
remembered that her son, who is now 15, was just a baby at the time of the invasion
in 2001. She expressed appreciation to first responders who gave their lives during
the tragedy in New York, the Pentagon, and Shanksville, PA.
The seniors were treated to a lasagna dinner following the presentation.
The Senior Center meets weekdays at the American Legion on Route 839 across the road from the Dayton Elementary School.
