Senior Expo Celebrates 12th Year in Jacksonville
(JACKSONVILLE, FL) – Today’s seniors are leading healthier, more vigorous lives than ever before. And, as people add years to their lives, they are actively seeking ways to add life to their years. That’s what the Senior Expo experience is all about. At the City of Jacksonville’s 12th Annual Senior Expo, the 50-plus set will see what’s new for today’s energetic seniors. The Senior Expo takes place Wednesday and Thursday, May 21 and 22 (from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.) at the Prime Osborn Convention Center (one-third mile west of downtown Jacksonville in the old train station).

Jacksonville’s largest annual gathering of seniors, the Senior Expo is sponsored by the City of Jacksonville and BlueCross/BueShield of Florida. During two full days of information and entertainment, attendees will learn how to make their investments work for them, discover travel opportunities, gather information about health insurance and senior living options, and experience new recreation and fitness choices. They will also have the opportunity to take advantage of a variety of health testing and screenings, offered by qualified medical practitioners, as well as 10 free educational seminars.
“Statistics tell us that 27% of Duval County’s year round population (more than 232,000 people) is over the age of 50,” says Bill Anderson of Expo Marketing. “And, this group of people is actively looking to the future. Whether they are thinking about retirement or simply thinking about next year’s vacation, they are making plans and looking to see what is available to them. They are eager to learn and explore all the possibilities available.”
