The GO Show

October 22

The Northland Senior Expo is now the GO Show (Getting Older But Still Going), set for 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 22, at the Duluth Entertainment Convention Center. Today’s generation of seniors isn’t the butterscotchin-their-pocket, tissue-in-their-sleeve seniors of the old days. Today’s seniors and soonto-be seniors are active, working, having fun, helping raise their children’s children, vacationing, crafting, building, buying – they are still going. At the GO Show, which is free, you’ll still find all the important information you need as you get older – estate planning, healthcare, etc – but now the GO Show will focus not just on what you have to do, but what you WANT to do! This means more fun – with exhibitors featuring travel, beer, food, outdoor gear, hobbies, and afternoon entertainment that will rock. Over 100 vendors will be at the expo. For more information, visit Goshowexpo.com.
