Detroit Lakes, Minn. (KDLM) – The Celebrate Aging Expo will be held at the Detroit Lakes Holiday Inn on Wednesday, May 17 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Aimie Issendorf, event organizer for the expo, said the purpose of the event is to provide a one-stop-shop of providers, services and resources for older adults who may be seeking specialized care in the future.

“We have everything from health care to senior housing, Mary Kay, deaf and hard-of-hearing services, state services for the blind, real estate companies, insurance companies,” said Issendorf. “It’s 40 different vendors and they all kind of provide different services.”

Like with other expos, free samples will be provided at the presentation tables.

This year’s event will also feature a Q and A panel focusing on aging care with members of Essentia Health, United Community Bank, Humana and Hospice of the Red River Valley.

“This year we are doing a question and answer panel at 10:30 a.m. in the bar area and we have five different professionals that will be on the panel and answering kind of some of the top questions that seniors have,” she said.

Following the event, all attendees are invited to stay and play free Bingo in the Holiday Inn bar area.

“Bingo in the bar at 1 p.m.,” said Issendorf. “This will kind of complete the show. It’s completely free and Bingo will go from about 1 p.m. to 2 p.m. We have a ton of prizes we will be giving away.”
