ECC Seeks Sponsors & Vendors for Senior Expo

East Central College is gearing up for its 17th annual Senior Expo and Health Fair, an event designed to connect area seniors with valuable resources, health screenings, and community organizations. The College is currently seeking sponsors and vendors to participate.

The Senior Expo and Health Fair will take place on Wednesday, May 21, from 9 a.m. to noon in the Donald Shook Student Center. This free event will feature a variety of local vendors, informative speakers, and opportunities to win prizes.

Open to adults 55 and older, the expo focuses on health awareness, education, and prevention, while also highlighting programs and services available in the community. Attendees can take advantage of free health screenings and learn from experts on topics relevant to senior well-being.

The event will be held in the College’s gym, with elevator and shuttle services available for easy access from parking lots.

For more details, contact Cynthia Cubas, External Relations Executive Administrative Assistant, at 636-584-6742.

Information for Vendors

Each vendor is asked to provide informational or educational materials, demonstration, screening, or service. Although vendors may demonstrate products, our Board of Trustee policies prohibit sales on our campus of articles or services.

Vendors are welcome to gather contact information from anyone interested in purchasing products or services later.

The vendor set-up date is Tuesday, May 20, from 2-5 p.m. Staff will be available to assist, and the gymnasium will be locked overnight to protect equipment and materials.

Anyone who cannot set up until May 21 morning, should contact Cubas to make arrangements.

There will be presentation opportunities during the Expo and Health Fair. Anyone with expertise on a subject, or anyone who can recommend someone to give such a talk, are asked to indicate that on the reservation form. A committee will select five presentation topics from those proposed by the vendors to share in a 15- to 20-minute talk on a subject of interest to seniors.
