Now in its fourth year, the free event will feature a number of helpful booths for seniors, including Kroger Pharmacy's “Ask the Pharmacist” booth. Additionally, the Social Security Administration will have a representative on hand along with financial planners and medical care providers. Seniors may review housing options available in Whitley County or have blood pressure screenings. Parkview Whitley Hospital will be providing blood screening for a $20 fee. Many other businesses that help seniors or their caregivers in the community will be present for the morning as well.
In addition to access to services and vendors, seniors can look forward to great entertainment as well. By Chance Bluegrass and Gospel will perform from 9 to 10 a.m., the Whitko Gospel Choir will perform from 10 to 10:30 a.m. and the Red Hat Strutters Line Dancing group will perform at 11 a.m.
Refreshments, including hot sandwiches, will be provided. Attendees will be entered for a chance to win several raffle prizes for $25 gas cards and other terrific prizes.
The event is underwritten annually by DeMoney-Grimes Funeral Home to bring together seniors in Whitley County and unite them with those that provide services to them.
