ADVERTISE IN CONTACT The Mokena Messenger LORA HEALY 708.326.9170 ext. 31 l.healy@22ndcenturymedia.com ® Active Aging Expo provides ‘one-stop shop’ Bingo, chef demo, singing performance to round out event Jon DePaolis Freelance Reporter Getting older can mean dealing with the new or unexpected. But 22nd Century Media is aiming to make that outlook a little less murky. The fourth annual Active Aging – An Expo for Ages 50+ is scheduled for 9 a.m.-1 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 6, at the Tinley Park Convention Center, located at 18451 Convention Center Drive, in the Exhibit North section. The event, which is sponsored by DuPage Medical Group and Ingalls Health System, features more than 30 vendors. “The expo offers a lot in terms of the different services available, especially in the local area,” said Heather Warthen, chief events officer for 22nd Century Media. “We have everything from medical and financial [services] to health and travel. It really runs the gamut for our aging population.” With so many services and businesses to learn about, the expo provides an excellent learning opportunity for expo-goers — not to mention convenience. “I think it’s great, because it’s almost like a one-stop shop,” Warthen said of the expo. “A lot of the time, it would take someone several appointments or time out of their day to meet with individual people [or businesses] like this. I think this is a great opportunity to hit all of the different resources in one spot.” New to this year’s expo is the winner of the 2018 Orland Township Senior Idol contest, Phil Orsi, who will be performing from 10:30- 11 a.m. Also coming in for a cooking demonstration is “the Unforgettable Chef,” Tom Grotovsky, from 11:45 a.m.-12:30 p.m. “He has done this for Frankfort Township seniors [in the past], and we’re really excited to have him,” Warthen said of Grotovsky. “He’s also been at our women’s expo the past couple of years.” Warthen said bingo — one of the more popular aspects of the expo — also is returning. “That’s right, free games of bingo for all, and we have prizes,” Warthen said. And as an extra incentive to those who arrive early, free gift bags will be given to the first 300 attendees to walk through the expo doors. Mapping out the best expo experience With this being the fourth year of the Active Aging expo, Warthen has seen it all. In particular, she’s figured out several strategies and tips for people planning on attending this year’s event. The first? Plan ahead of time. Warthen suggests visiting www.22ndcenturymedia. com/aging. There, expo-goers can take a look at the list of vendors and make a list of which ones they absolutely want to see during their visit to the convention center. “That helps map out your day,” Warthen said. Warthen also suggests that expo-goers take care of their feet by wearing comfortable walking shoes. After all, a four-hour expo is a marathon, not a sprint. And for those who want one of the 300 free gift bags, Warthen suggests planning to arrive early — as in being at the convention center prior to 9 a.m. Lastly, Warthen asked that expo-goers “come with an open mind.” “There may be a service that you are surprised to find you may need in your life, and you didn’t even realize it,” Warthen said.
