SENIOR SKIP DAY 2.0 & Healthcare Expo
A s the East Baton Rouge Council on Aging prepared to celebrate its’ 50th year, there was one event that seniors didn’t want to miss on Thursday, April 27th. Due to inclement weather, the event was relocated from the Baton Rouge Fairgrounds to the F.G. Clark Activity Center on the campus of Southern University and A&M College. The Senior Skip Day 2.0 and Senior Healthcare Expo offered a fun-filled day of entertainment, food, and live music, all while providing seniors with valuable information about their health. Senior Skip Day 2.0 was a spin on when students skip school and spent the day together. Our seniors skipped their usual day at the senior center and
congregated for a day of fun! This event was geared towards celebrating and appreciating the seniors in East Baton Rouge Rouge Parish. They were provided plenty of activities and entertainment for seniors to enjoy, including games, and live music featuring Keith Frank & the Soileau Zydeco Band, The Rusty Yates Band, and DJ Marquis. The festivities were just the beginning of what this event offered. The Healthcare Expo was a key component of the day, providing seniors with an opportunity to receive valuable health information, resources, and vaccinations. Seniors were able to take advantage of health screenings, as well as, learn about preventative care and healthy living habits.
