The 17th Annual Lincoln Parish Sheriff’s Office Senior Expo is scheduled for Thursday, April 17, from 7:30 a.m. to 12 p.m. at the Ruston Sports Complex (Indoor Complex) located at 2103 Champions Way.
This event will feature speakers, information relevant to seniors, entertainment, delicious food, and prizes (participants must be 55 years or older and present to win a door prize).
“This event is a way to honor our senior citizens for their vital contributions to our community and parish life,” stated Sgt. Iris Winston from the Lincoln Parish Sheriff’s Office Community Services Division. “Our main goal is to share valuable information that can positively affect our seniors’ daily lives.”
Winston noted that previous expos have featured speakers addressing topics such as frauds and scams, Medicare and Medicaid, wellness and balance, funeral planning, and more. This year’s lineup includes Dermatologist Josh Mandrell, representatives from Chase Bank, and Blue Cross/Blue Shield.
“This entire event focuses on our seniors. We want to express our gratitude for their contributions to the community,” explained Winston. “Everything is tailored for senior citizens, showcasing what Lincoln Parish offers and the various services available. We have been hosting this event for 17 years, and many seniors eagerly anticipate it each year.”
“Last year’s expo was our largest to date, drawing over 800 attendees. It was incredible to see. We are aiming to make this year’s event even bigger and better. We encourage all seniors in our community to come out and enjoy.”
The LPSO expresses gratitude to major sponsors for the event: Origin Bank, Entergy, Rolling Hill Ministries, Durrett Law and Title, Louisiana Blue, Weyerhaeuser, Trenton Dental Care, Morris and Dewett Injury Lawyers and Kilpatrick Funeral Homes.
