Travel, Leisure & Fun for South Valley Adults
The Heart of Seniors Expo & Fashion Show, hosted by the Senior Coalition, will be held on Thursday, February 13, at the Visalia Wyndham Hotel, 9000 W. Airport Dr., Visalia.
The event, which marks its 10th anniversary year, will include a vital resource fair with vendors, a fashion show with senior models escorted by American Ambulance team members, and a luncheon.
The resource fair opens at 8 a.m., with the program beginning at 10:30 a.m. Tickets are $10 per person, and include lunch. Early registration is recommended as seating is limited and the event is again expected to sell out.
The event will be free and open to the public from 1-2:30 p.m. for those interested in gathering information about local services available to seniors.
"This event is important to seniors in our area because there is such a wide variety of information provided by the vendors that attend," said Nicole Redstone, event spokesperson. "We feel that it's not just a really fun and entertaining day, but also a place for our community's seniors to ask questions, get information and find real resources they can utilize in the future when they need them.
"This will be our tenth year and last year we sold out in one week," she added.
The program, which will include a showcase of the latest in fashion for the mature woman, will feature keynote speaker Steve Gilliland, comedian and a member of the Speaker Hall of Fame.
"Valentine's Day just would not be the same without the Heart of Seniors event," said Staci Correia, treasurer of the event. "It has become a tradition for all of us. The fact that we can bring all of these community services together under one roof and share how they can help our local seniors is just amazing, and to hear first-hand from our seniors how much they enjoy coming every year is worth all the time and effort."
