Boomers and Beyond October 2024

Bringing Back the Talent Last November, we hosted the inaugural St. Thomas Seniors Got Talent. It is an incredible evening showcasing local seniors’ talents across various genres, from dance and singing to musical performances and even a silent clown act. Our performers gave it their all for a sold-out audience. The night was such a resounding success that we immediately knew we had to bring it back. And now, here we are, getting ready for St. Thomas Seniors Got Talent 2. The event will be held on November 2nd at 6:30 pm at the St. Thomas Seniors Centre (225 Chestnut St, St. Thomas), and it’s expected to sell out once again. Angela Ostojic, Manager of the Seniors Centre, shared that the audience’s enthusiasm was clear: they insisted

the show must return. “It was a great success last year. It supports a wonderful cause, and it was something we hadn’t done before. Both the audience and participants loved it. It was a great experience for them to showcase their talents.” This year’s show again supports Hospice of Elgin, with all ticket proceeds being donated to this vital cause. Last year, the event raised $1,500 for Hospice, and we aim to double that amount this year. Angela also noted that the fun wasn’t limited to the audience: “The Green Room was the funniest place in the whole event. The performers had their own separate party in there.”
