Welcome to BeaconFest:

LAUGHING IS UNIVERSAL No matter how old you are, what language you speak, or what your physical or mental abilities are,

YOU CAN LAUGH!

"I have been to many places, but I've never been in Cahoots.

Apparently, you can't go alone.

You have to be in Cahoots with someone.

I've also never been in Cognito. I hear no one recognizes you there."

2017

Thousands of dollars worth of door prizes will be given away in free drawings throughout the day.

Walgreens’ certified staff members will be administering FREE flu shots on a first-come, first-served basis and while supplies last—so hurry in!

Senior’s Choice Awards

I’m always impressed with the wide variety of exhibitors at BeaconFest and the way they market themselves. Some bring just themselves, along with a handful of brochures. Others have booth displays that look like they were made by Disney Imagineers. What’s important is what you think.

Please take a moment to let us know who you think has the best overall booth, the friendliest people, or the best “swag” (free stuff) by filling out the Senior’s Choice Awards ballot in this program. The exhibitors with the most votes will win a prize. Your choices will be announced in October’s BEACON.

Thank you!

BeaconFest is also our way of saying thank you for reading the BEACON Senior Newspaper. Let us give you a hug or a hearty handshake.

Every person will leave a legacy. In fact, you are building yours each and every day. How can you intentionally create your legacy? How can you and your family benefit now from the legacy you will leave in the future? Salvation Army Intermountain Division’s director of gift planning and attorney Natalie L. Decker will discuss ways to intentionally create your legacy, both through your estate and during your lifetime. She will discuss various options available to Colorado residents, legacy planning techniques that you can do on your own, as well as an overview of tax-saving charitable gift planning opportunities using a variety of financial assets and gift planning arrangements that can benefit both family and charity.

Every person will leave a legacy. In fact, you are building yours each and every day. How can you intentionally create your legacy? How can you and your family benefit now from the legacy you will leave in the future? Salvation Army Intermountain Division’s director of gift planning and attorney Natalie L. Decker will discuss ways to intentionally create your legacy, both through your estate and during your lifetime. She will discuss various options available to Colorado residents, legacy planning techniques that you can do on your own, as well as an overview of tax-saving charitable gift planning opportunities using a variety of financial assets and gift planning arrangements that can benefit both family and charity.
