It’s a Great Day at the 50plus EXPO By Christianne Rupp If you’re a baby boomer, a senior, or a caregiver, you won’t want to miss the 15th annual Lancaster County 50plus EXPO, which will be held on May 5, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Spooky Nook Sports, 2913 Spooky Nook Drive in Lancaster. This is a one-day event that is all about you and what is on your mind. More than 100 exhibitors will be on hand. With plenty of room to move in the aisles, you can chat with representatives to see how their product or service can help you live happy, healthy lives. On stage this year, we’ll be featuring not only entertainment but also demonstrations. You’ll love watching and hearing performers from the Dutch Apple Dinner Theatre sing songs from the musical Seven Brides for Seven Brothers. Just in time for planting season, Jodie Morris from Stauffers of Kissel Hill will demonstrate how to use thrillers, fillers, and spillers to transform your container garden from ordinary to amazing. One lucky person will even take home her beautiful flowering creation for a summer of enjoyment. Thinking about starting an exercise program? Zumba may be just what you’re looking for. It’s fun, includes music, and can be tailored to the over-50 crowd. Mitzi Jones will be talking about what your handwriting may say about you. Audiences always find her presentation very intriguing and they have a lot of questions afterward. please see EXPO page 27 A look at past 50plus EXPOs gives a picture of what you’ll find this year!
