The 16th annual Lincoln Parish Sheriff’s Office Senior Expo will be held on Thursday, April 25 from 7:30 a.m. to 12 p.m. at the Ruston Sports Complex (Indoor Complex) at 2103 Champions Way.
The event will include speakers, age-related information, entertainment, great food and prizes (must be 55 years or older and present to be eligible to win a door prize).
“This is an event that our senior citizens deserve as an expression of our gratitude for playing such a crucial role in our community and parish life,” said Sgt. Iris Winston, Lincoln Parish Sheriff’s Office Community Services Division. “The main objective of this event is to pass along beneficial information that could help impact our senior citizens everyday lives.”
Winston said past senior expo’s have included speakers talking on subjects such as fraud/scams, medicare/medicaid, funeral information and more. This year’s speakers include Kelli Slaughter with the Federal Trade Commission, Dr. Jerry Yarbrough with Fyzical, and Laura Seabaugh with the Louisiana Attorney General’s Office.
“This whole event is created with our seniors in mind. We want to show our appreciation for all they have contributed to our community.” said Winston. “Everything is senior citizen related. It gives them an idea of what Lincoln Parish has to offer and the different services that are out there. We have been doing this for 16 years. We have a lot of senior citizens that really look forward to coming to this event every year.
“Last year’s event was the biggest one that we’ve had to date with over 700 attendees. It was amazing to witness. We are hoping to make this year’s event even bigger and better than ever before. We are encouraging all of our senior citizen community to come out and enjoy.”
The LPSO would like to thank some major sponsors for the event: Origin Bank, Entergy, Rolling Hill Ministries, Durrett Law and Title, La Capitol Credit Union, Hot 2 Cold Electrical, Trenton Dental Care and Ivan Daigs.
