It’s important to recognize the aging population in our community,” said Heather Warthen, chief operating officer at 22nd Century Media, expo presenter and parent company of The Beacon. “We brought together a great group of vendors that offer a variety of resources for those actively aging or children of parents who are in that age group.” For the first time, the expo was staged at Northbrook Court, which was also a popular venue choice for 22nd Century Media’s Camp Expo, held in February. The expo was located near the lower level of Macy’s and ran from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. “Northbrook Court is a great central location off of Lake Cook Road, easy to find,” Warthen said. “So far, people have been excited with some showing up as early as 8:30.” The variety of vendors at the expo ran the gamut from real estate, financial advisors, health and fitness to home improvement, performing arts and more. One of those vendors was FreshSkin Medical Spa & Wellness Center, who were at the expo for the first time this year. Describing itself as an aesthetic and anti-aging center for men and women, FreshSkin has been located in downtown Highland Park since 2011. “We’re based in functional medicine. We focus on optimizing the body so that you have healthy skin and a healthy body,” said Jenna Radivojevic, who does community outreach for the company. “We typically see patients that come to us that have gone to other doctors who have told them they’re okay, but they still feel off.” Wilmette’s Studio North Melinda Sharkan (left), of Wilmette, tries out some pilates equipment while Arlene Bass, owner of Highland Park’s Body Evolve, looks on at 22nd Century Media’s Active Aging Expo Saturday, Oct. 13, at Northbrook Court in Northbrook. Photos by Eric DeGrechie/22nd Century Media Academy of the Performing Arts was also making its expo debut. Owner Pamela Sue Fox discussed the many offerings at SNAP including music, dance classes and performance opportunities for age 2 and up. “Our performing company performs for free for seniors all over Chicago,” Fox said. “In addition, I’m a singer and offer my services as well.” Attendees Judy Weintraub, of Northbrook, and her mother, Debbi Kaylegjan, were making their way around the expo. “I’m very happy with this event and have a lot more hope than I had before,” Weintraub said. “We were actually just shopping in the mall and ran into it.” Marlene Schwan, a resident of Highland Park, is an owner of Compassionate Care Consulting, out of Bannockburn. The company’s mission is to provide a safe, professional setting for patients to gain safe, legal access to medical cannabis. “There’s been a lot of curiosity as to what we do and how medical marijuana may help or not help them,” Schwan said. “People with any of a number of medical conditions qualify for their medical marijuana card and we help them through the process.” Andrew Erickson, who works at an Edward Jones office that has been in Winnetka for 15 years, was pleased with the event as he set up appointments Judy Weintraub (left), of Northbrook, learns about Chicago Compassion Consulting from owner Marlene Schwan and Bobbi Wiley. to help people navigate their retirement plans. “The stock market was very volatile last week, so many people want to talk about that and figure out strategies to protect their money,” Erickson said. Lake Forest’s Wellness Solutions does a little bit of everything from physical therapy, pilates, reiki and tuning fork healing, vibrational singing bowls, laser and sauna. Established in 2006, the company lives by the mantra “Feel Better, Age Smarter,” and especially prides itself on assisting older citizens. “I think we’re a bit more integrative because we bring other modalities in,” said Tina Ashbeck, of Lake Bluff, a licensed physical therapist. “We’re not just looking at the body, but the mind and spirit.”
