Fishers residents age 50 “or better” are invited to celebrate National Senior Citizen Day at the City of Fishers’ annual Senior Expo Aug. 18.

The event takes place from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Aug 18 and, for the first time, will be hosted by The Reserve at Hamilton Trace, 9974 Federalist Dr.

“We’ve been hosting the Senior Expo for a number of years now,” Fishers Parks and Recreation Director Tony Elliott said. “We’re partnering with our sponsor, Hamilton Trace, this year and the event itself is at The Reserve at Hamilton Trace. In the past it’s been at the library, but it’s grown into a very popular event for the senior community and local businesses as well, so we’re expanding over to The Reserve at Hamilton Trace.”

Approximately 35 different businesses and vendors will be at the expo for seniors to learn more about while mingling with fellow visitors and enjoying light refreshments.

“It’s really just the epitome of community engagement and geared specifically toward seniors,” Elliott said. “We’ll have a lot of businesses in an expo-type format that can talk with people and everyone from the Fishers Police and Fishers Fire departments, local chiropractors, different services and amenity providers for seniors will be there and it’s a neat opportunity to engage with other seniors from around the community as well.”

The event is free to attend and prizes will be available. For more, call 317-595-3150.
