Some folks get to cover the ACC and NCAA tournaments. I get the Senior Wii Bowling Tournament at the State Fair. And that's okay, because this was pretty fun. The mood at yesterday's tournament was always friendly, but the competition was still fierce.

The winner was 65-year-old Clecy Durham (left) from the Tower Nursing and Rehabilitation Center in Raleigh. I didn't see every single toss he made, but every time I was looking he either threw a strike or a spare. And he said Wii Bowling is not even his best game -- that would be Wii Golf.

I'm betting he's back next year to defend his title.

Here's the full story about tournament and about the other big Senior Day festivities at yesterday's fair.

I'm taping Headline Saturday tomorrow, which airs on WRAL 7 p.m. Saturday. The show will be on the issues surrounding the growth in the elderly population, and how we're going to meet the needs of a rapidly increasing group of seniors.  If any of you have any questions you'd like me to ask, email me at dbarkin@newsobserver.com.  The show tapes at 9:30 a.m., and I'll check my email beforehand.
