Bring on the FUN
By LaShanya Nash
It is finally time! The 2nd Annual 2021 BETTER WITH AGE Health & Safety FUN DAY at the Shoppes at NorthPark, Thursday, June 10th, from 9am-1pm! Save the date and get ready for fun!
We are excited to see everyone at the Fun Day as we celebrate life. We’ll see old friends and make new ones; mingle with the vendors, enjoy music, entertainment, door prizes, food and have some good old-fashioned FUN. There is plenty of easy access parking. Scattered seating areas, allow you to take a break from all the excitement! It’s a party for you, your friends and family. The more the merrier.
In 2019, the BETTER WITH AGE Health & Safety Fair was exceptional with over 40 vendors, 300 plus guests, live music, entertainment, singing and dancing performances by the Oklahoma Senior Follies. There were amazing door prizes! It was a party with food, fun and great information!
The event on June 10th, promises to be even bigger and better than the first! We have more vendors with 90% of those from 2019 participating again, more great performers and entertainers, more amazing door prizes and give-aways and invaluable tips to keep us healthy and safe as we age and care for our loved ones. We have bus and van parking for clubs, organizations and senior communities. We extended the event one hour and are expecting even greater attendance this year.
We’ve received many comments from vendors and previous guests ranging from:
“We are excited to be able to resume normal activities.” “It felt like a cruise ship welcome aboard party.” “Best Health Fair EVER.” “The event was so organized and such attention was given to meeting the needs of vendors and attendees. It’s top-notch and so much fun. I just want to thank you for such a wonderful day, you made me feel special. “ “I’ve never as a vendor been waited on and catered to at any event the way I was treated here today and I really appreciate it.” “I was nervous to start planning for the inevitable but when I got to the event the music calmed my nerves immediately. Then I felt like I could eat for the first time that day.” “It was a party but I learned so much and got such good information, I drove home belly full, feeling like I’d just left a music festival”. “Incredibly relaxed way to get information about estate and funeral planning, who knew planning my own funeral would be so much fun!”
Obviously, safety measures have been put in place. The vendor booths are spaced farther apart, with strategically placed sanitation stations. All food items are individually wrapped. The goal is for everyone to safely enjoy the event. This will be a great day of information sharing and camaraderie. Come join in the fun!
