By
Jenni Dovyak-
Over 3,000 attendees were welcomed at the Area Agency on Aging District 7’s (AAA7) Senior Expo that was held in September at the Scioto County Fairgrounds in Lucasville. This year’s theme was “Wild, Wild, West.”
Features at the Senior Expo included exhibit booths, free health screenings, Bingo, door prizes, live entertainment, a cake auction, food, games, and much more.
The cake auction is a yearly feature at the event which helps raise money for local Senior Centers in the AAA7’s 10-county District that includes Adams, Brown, Gallia, Highland, Jackson, Lawrence, Pike, Ross, Scioto and Vinton. Each county Senior Center donates a baked cake to the event to be auctioned with the money raised from each cake going back to the Senior Center that donated it. This year’s event raised $2,050.00 for local senior centers.
