The Fort Bend Star’s Fourth Annual Senior Expo takes place today, Oct. 10, at the Stafford Centre.
The free event featuring speakers and vendors catering to senior citizens will be held from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Several hundred people are expected to attend the expo, which will have talks by industry experts about healthcare, retirement living, and more. More than 50 vendors will have booths highlighting everything from health and wellness to senior housing, medical, dental, wealth, retirement, travel, entertainment, insurance and much more. There will also be free food, as the Fort Bend Star will be providing breakfast and lunch for guests.
A special lineup of speakers has been announced. They include experts from Oyster Creek Senior Living (9:15-9:40 a.m.), Skin Cancer Specialists Dermatology (10-10:25 a.m.), Dr. John from Advanced Dentistry (10:45-11:10 a.m.), and Sugar Land Functional Medicine (11:30-11:55 a.m.). Attendees at the Sugar Land Functional Medicine talk will have lunch catered to them so they are not last in line for the lunch service. Also, there will be gift card drawings in each seminar that will include Vasos Bar-B-Que and RC’s Tex-Mex Kitchen, among others.
