This year the Salute features many new and different features for a day of fun at 50s prices. Both returning and new vendors are dedicated to making life easier for older adults and their families with new investment ideas, home modification plans, health plans, home improvement projects, and volunteer opportunities. In this tight economy many of the vendors are looking to recruit and hire older workers as members of their team, especially those who are looking for part time work. More than 130 exhibitors will be dressed in costumes from movies of the 50s.
Shirley Jones comes to the stage at the 20th Annual Salute to Seniors on June 3 at 10:00 am and 1:00 pm at the Colorado Convention
Center, Denver. Returning for the 20th year, the Salute to Seniors is the largest and most exciting senior event in Colorado.
Individuals who need to take a rest as they stroll through the exhibit hall, can stop to watch movie clips of the 50s and enjoy other featured entertainment throughout the day. In 50s style, Swing Time Orchestra will offer an afternoon tea dance for those who enjoy dancing to a variety of waltzes, jitterbugs, fox trots and more. Arthur Murray Dance Studio is offering dance demonstrations for those who want to improve their skills or just enjoy watching the professionals. All that will be missing at this afternoon tea dance is a drink from the bar, but patrons can visit Gunther Toody’s soda bar for a refreshing soda sample. Gunther Toody’s will also be offering coupons for 5¢ burgers with the full price purchase of the first burger on Wednesdays as well as 2 for 1 special. Trivia Bingo of the 50s featuring movies, actors, actresses, events of the 50s, automobiles, and more is sure to be a popular attraction. Those who don’t want to play Trivia Bingo, can play regular bingo throughout the day for great prizes. In addition to hundreds of other prizes given away throughout the day, the grand prize for the day is a three-day cruise with airfare from QueensLander Tours. The Salute will feature for the first time a Health Fair with such tests as cardiovascular screenings, low vision screenings, lung capacity screening, blood pressure, and much more. In addition, seniors can bring their used and old medications for safe disposal. Some tests will be free and others will be available for a nominal charge. Cost is $7.50 for the first ticket and $3.50 for the second ticket. Join us in the fun. For information, call 303-333-3482.
