Our goal is to continue an event with a wide variety of resources that seniors and their families are looking for- all in one place, all at one time. Your business is an important resource that our seniors are looking for. We'll provide you with an 8' table for you to create a booth to remember, but most importantly, you'll have an opportunity to establish working relationships with seniors and their families in order to help guide them to the resources they need. We had 200+ guests from the public attend this event in 2024 from Highland and surrounding counties, and 54 businesses participated. Our Senior Expo is  heavily advertised by social media, advertised in local newspapers and signage. Our expo features free admission for the public with tons of prizes every hour that the public enjoys. 

While engaging with your audience, we'll have some fun with costume contests, live music, and more.  For the event, businesses bring a decorated pumpkin that the public votes on. Read below for what benefit exhibitors receive before, during and after the expo!

Registration and payment deadline: June 17th. Booths are $200 and space is limited. Booth spaces are filled, first come first serve. Sponsors have seating near the event's stage.  All booth fee proceeds benefit the operation of the Highland County Senior Citizens Center, a 501(C)(3) non-profit and non-government funded organization. One business per booth. Below are links with the event's information.
