This year we have nearly 50 businesses participating in our Healthy Halloween Senior Expo event. That is double what we had last year and we are excited to have all these resources all in one place, all at the same time. We have families and individuals reach out to us often looking for contact information. They want to know what businesses and organizations are out there that provide services of care, finances, insurance and everyday life needs for themselves or the needs of a family member who they are taking care of in some way.
Some are not sure where to start and some may just need more details or other options. This event is a perfect opportunity to gather this information and discover what resources are out there for help and support. Not only is this event full of contacts and information, the event is also a lot of fun with tons of free prizes and gifts that we will be giving away during the event. It is always neat to see what costumes people come up with for the Halloween costume contest. The public can also enjoy games, a live band, raffles, lunch and more. We encourage you to attend.
