HUNDREDS of people converged on Warwick Indoor Recreational and Aquatic Centre last Thursday to take part in the Seniors’ Week expo.
Expo-goers were treated to an array of entertainment, including a dog obedience demonstration, cyber safety talk and up-beat musical numbers by the Wuppies Ukulele Group.
“It was brilliant,” Seniors’ Week working group co-ordinator Pam Burley said.
“About 400 people were there and over 60 stalls.”
A debrief will be conducted on Tuesday, but initial feedback was positive, Ms Burley said.
“Feedback from some of our regulars who attend every expo was that it has been good and that we had a lot of new stallholders,” she said.
“Assumption College did a great job with the catering and hospitality and just generally supporting on the day.”
This year’s theme, “It’s on for young and old”, encouraged seniors to live a vibrant life.
Seniors’ Week is an opportunity for residents of all ages to celebrate the contributions of older people in the community.
