From cultural enlightenment to free doughnuts to helpful information about senior scams, there’ll be plenty to do and see, learn and enjoy at the West Side Senior Expo, slated for 8 a.m. to noon Wednesday, July 26, at Northwest High School, 6005 Cedar Hill Road, near Hwy. 30 in Cedar Hill.
Vendors will be on hand with products and services of interest to those age 50 and older. Many will offer free items and door prize raffles, so smart visitors will bring along pre-printed address labels to make signing up easy.
There will be free coffee and doughnuts, free bingo and music from J.B. Louis and the Legends.
Visitors will have the opportunity to interact with animals from God’s Grace Animal Rescue and to hear guest speakers talk about German culture and heritage. A representative from Edward Jones will share information about senior scams and how to avoid them.
The Lion’s Choice food truck will be on hand until 2 p.m., so plan to purchase a roast beef lunch.
A drawing will be held for the grand prize, a getaway to Echo Bluff State Park near Eminence.
Parking is free and a shuttle service will be provided throughout the morning, courtesy of STL Golf Cart Shuttle. For more information about the Senior Expo, call the Leader at 636-931-7560.
