The LaGrange County Council on
Aging will hold their first ever Senior
Expo on Tuesday, October 15 from
8:00 am to 3:00 pm at the Michiana
Event Center (MEC) located at 7605
N. State Road 9 in Howe. This is a free
event that will afford senior citizens
of LaGrange county the opportunity
to gather information about local
businesses, health care providers and
senior service providers. Fifty organizations are anticipated to be set up at
the expo.
Free blood pressure checks,
diabetic testing, bone density scans, vision and hearing screenings and other
services will be available. Those seniors
attending will have the opportunity to
enter into a lot of drawings and sign
up to receive information from many
vendors. It is suggested that those
coming to the event bring address
labels to save themselves some writing.
