Davie County Senior Services will host the Senior Expo, Senior Games Kickoff, and Shredding Event on Thursday, Jan. 30 in the Brock Recreation Center Gym from 1-3 p.m.
The expo will take place inside of the gym with 30 vendors while the shredding truck will be in the parking lot.
“This event will be a one-stop place to gather information on everything you need to know for healthy, active living for seniors,” said Carrie Miller, program coordinator for senior services.
There will be organizations such as the Davie Fire Marshal’s Office, EMS, Health Department, Library, Veterans Services, Board of Elections, Recreation and Parks, Sherriff’s Office, Cooperative Extension, Social Services, Davie Center for Violence Prevention, and Senior Services.
There will be screenings including cholesterol, glucose, and blood pressure with UNCG Minerva’s Mobile Unit, Foster Drug, and Atrium Health, as well as fall prevention screenings with Winston-Salem State University, all free of charge. There will be other outside agencies as well.
“These county offices, businesses, and organizations will be on hand with a wealth of information that will help seniors live healthier, stay active and lead more fulfilled lives. Many health screenings will also be available free of charge,” Miller said.
There will be door prizes and giveaways throughout the event, so do not miss this opportunity. The event is free and open to the public.
This will coincide with the kickoff for Senior Games. If you are 50 or better and looking for a way to become involved, make plans to register for Senior Games this season. Registration forms will be available at the Senior Services table at the Senior Expo.
