Lady - A Women’s Expo to return April 21
Jon DePaolis
Freelance Reporter
It is a Mother’s Day tradition
unlike any other.
Lady - A Women’s Expo,
presented by 22nd Century
Media and Planet Fitness,
is set to return from 9 a.m.-
1 p.m. Saturday, April 21, at
the Tinley Park Convention
Center, 18451 Convention
Center Drive in Tinley Park.
The annual event also is
sponsored by the Chicago
Sky, Ingalls Health System
and Celebrity Cruises.
The free event has more
than 100 vendors slated to
attend this year — covering
health and wellness to
fashion and beauty, food to
financial planning — making
it the largest Lady expo
to date, according to Heather
Warthen, chief events officer
at 22nd Century Media.
“The nice thing about this
expo that I see year to year
is that we see a lot of girls
getting together and starting
a ladies day out,” Warthen
said. “We also draw moms,
daughters and granddaughters.
That’s what makes me
happy. It’s a great prelude
into Mother’s Day weekend
and a great chance for women
of all ages to bond.”
Among the highlights this
year will be an expanded
roster of vendors, as well as
entertainment options.
“I think people like to see
what the vendors have to offer,”
Warthen said. “It’s a
great opportunity, because
we have an entire stage of
cooking demos, which is
back again this year. We have
some great local chefs, and
you can pick up some new
cooking tips. I know that was
a huge draw last year.”
She also pointed to the
main stage attractions, such
as Danni Allen — the winner
of Season 14 of “The Biggest
Loser” — and plenty
free fitness classes, including
cardio and yoga.

variety of vendors we get.
It’s not all clothing or food
