BOWLING GREEN For Margaret Davis, 94, and Fern Sipe, 101, longevity seems to run in the family.

The Bowling Green sisters attended the 90 Plus Spectacular hosted by the Wood County Committee on Aging on Monday.

The celebration, which honored more than 60 area residents who are more than 90 years of age, brought about 100 people to the event at St. Marks Lutheran Church in Bowling Green.

Ms. Sipe, who was the oldest person at the event, said she and her sister were known for being magicians and performing for children at birthdays and other events.

She said the help of her younger sister was instrumental in pulling off performances.

I couldnt do it all, she said.

Danielle Brogley, director of programs for the Wood County Committee on Aging, said this is the third year for the event.

We do it in honor of Older Americans Month. We do it as a tribute to their lives, she said.

Ms. Brogley said many people in the community are living longer.
