Display booths showed off different talents from flower arrangements, resin work, and sewing, to essential oils and watercolor painting. Some seniors displayed businesses or causes they have worked with; for example, Just Serve officers coordinate service efforts with the East Idaho JustServe chapter and the team for the group Poky for Parky's run a support group for those affected by Parkinson's.
The event was focused around bringing the community together and helping seniors reconnect with others.
“We know that supporting seniors in our community not only helps them thrive, but also enriches our own lives.” says event director Sienna Owens.
