The Canada Senior Games start today in Portage.

You may see some people who look out of place.

Rusty and Elaine Rutherford are dressed in circa 1880's garb, while Eric and Evelyn Smith look like 1920 westerners.

No they did not step out of a time machine they are part of the spirit of the games.

Rusty notes it was exciting to greet the athletes.

He adds they are also in charge of judging the "spirit of the games award" which will go to the team that shows the most spirit.

Meanwhile Eric Smith encourages people to come say hi to them.
