“This event is about more than just information,” said Brad Oliverson, co-owner and director of The Haven. “We want people to walk away not only with knowledge but also with a sense of community and encouragement to live life to the fullest.”

Expert speakers and timely topics

Throughout the day, expert speakers will take the stage at the top of every hour to share valuable insights on topics relevant to older adults, caregivers and families. Presentations will cover subjects such as wills and trusts, breathwork for stress relief, yoga and holistic wellness practices, healthy aging strategies and guidance on making the most of Medicare and Social Security benefits.

Oliverson said the wide-ranging topics reflect the needs of the community, which is made up of people from all walks of life seeking answers on how to navigate retirement, health and long-term planning.

“We’ve worked hard to bring in professionals who can speak to the real questions people have,” he added. “These are subjects that matter to families, whether it’s understanding your Medicare coverage or learning simple techniques to manage stress.”

Food, fun and raffles

While education is at the heart of the Golden Years Expo, fun will also play a central role. Food will be served fresh and include delicious options, and raffle drawings throughout the day will give attendees chances to win prizes.

The event is designed to appeal to all ages. While older adults may be the primary audience, Oliverson emphasized that families, caregivers and even younger community members will find something of value at the expo.

“It’s an intergenerational event,” he said. “Grandparents can bring their children and grandchildren, and everyone will discover activities they can enjoy together.”
