Now in its second year, the Golden Years Expo continues to grow, offering an expanded experience for attendees in a larger venue to better serve the community.
“We are excited to expand the Golden Years Expo in its second year by moving it to the Cathy Mahoney Recreation Center,” said Erin Collins, marketing and sponsorship specialist. “The larger location allows us to welcome more exhibitors and guests while continuing to provide valuable resources, connections, and opportunities for our older adult community.”
The Golden Years Expo offers a wide range of information, resources, and interactive activities created specifically for older adults. Attendees will have the opportunity to connect with a diverse group of exhibitors, including health care providers, financial advisors, retirement communities, travel agencies, local government representatives, and more.
