It's the most wonderful time of the year! We will be rocking around the 14th annual Bell County Senior Expo on Sept. 24th, 2024 from 8-1 at the Bell County Expo/Cadence Bank Center. Our theme is Winter Wonderland! There will be 200 costumed vendors with decorated booths ready to show you what Central Texas has to offer our senior citizens. Most vendors will have $30-$50 door prizes & we will offer a GRAND PRIZE! There are entertainers, speakers, all we need now is YOU! This is a free event, no RSVP or tickets necessary. No money exchange or signing of contracts is allowed. No one is allowed to ask for your social, Medicare #, banking information, name of your first born, nothing. We want you to feel no pressure and be able to see all of your options in the area, and then go home and take your time making an informed decision if you need any services. We have invited multiple vendors from each industry so you can see who the best fit is for you.
Be sure and see George Losoya from the Area Agency on Aging for Scam Prevention tips from 9-10 in the front, right corner of building in our speaker area. Then at 10:30, we have Rainey & Rainey with invaluable information about nursing home & estate planning. And, if you aspire to be a Sexy Senior Citizen, you'll definitely want to see author Delsina West from Advent Health from 12-1 for all of your nutrition & fitness tips. Attend all 3 speaker sessions for triple the chances of winning a $100 gift card!
This is our 14th annual event, and every year, it is held the last Tuesday of September at the Expo Center. This year, we had some amazing students assembling over 6,000 canvas bags that you'll get as you walk into the event. There were some youngsters from BISD's Delta program, who are special needs students ages 18-22, and we had Temple work-based learners who are Juniors and Seniors in High School. We would love for you to subscribe to the Belton Journal. It's only $20 a year for your weekly newspaper to be mailed to your home & heart every Thursday, as well as all of our special sections, including 2 magazines. We will donate half of every new subscription to these kiddos for their hard work. They said they are looking forward to taking a field trip with the money and hopefully getting a new van.
Thank yall so much for your support & friendship. We appreciate you coming back year after year and bringing your friends and helping this event grow. Last year we moved from the 15,000 square foot Assembly Hall to the 55,000 square foot Exposition Building which allowed us to make this event even more senior-friendly. All booths, entertainers & speakers are now accessible on the ground level. No stairs or elevators required. We now have 25 foot aisles. So folks can be at booths on both sides and we have plenty of room for passing now. This also makes it easier for folks in wheelchairs, with walkers or canes to enjoy the event. There is more seating available, if you need to rest. We've added more golf carts to help folks from their vehicles to the event. We try to improve this event every year for you. We have a lot of folks that would like to attend but are unable because it's on a weekday & they have to work. I am working on finding ways to take video to feature online. Please let me know if there's anything else we can do, or if you have any questions. We hope to see you again next year on Sept. 23rd when we salute our military for 250 years of their sacrifice and courage. Then in 2026, we will celebrate 190 years of being Texians.
Thanks so much, God Bless
