This was AWESOME! AWESOME! The show was a like a great combination baby boomer lifestyle show, home improvement show, health fair, and senior fair all under one roof.
Great informational venue for the New Era Seniors (baby boomers) and beyond. The exhibitors were of so much value in the variety of products and services. This was great for networking and building awareness of future planning in our Senior years. The speakers were fantastic. Let's go for it in 2009 for the next event.
Thank you to all sponsors and event planner (Maxine Goulding) who made this event a SUCCESS.
Mike, You are a Success!! Thank you for all you do! I am grateful to be in your connection.
