Senior Friendly Extravaganza! planned
The Senior Friendly Extravaganza! will be held from 10 a.m.-4 p.m. Thursday at the Harborside Event Center in Fort Myers, and among the attractions will be the AARP/Walgreens Wellness Tour.
A bundle of six health screenings, valued at more than $140, will be administered for free.
The event arrives as part of a 3,000-community, two-year national mobile health screening tour with a goal of providing more than $60 million worth of free health screenings.
It aims to administer more than 2.5 million free screenings and is comprised of nine custom-equipped buses with dedicated staffs of Walgreens trained medical technicians.
This is the fifth year that Walgreens has committed to providing free health screenings through a traveling health screening campaign.
The Senior Friendly Extravaganza! will again provide the same entertainment that it always has including live music, prizes, classic car show, health screenings, grandkids photo contest, bingo, free coffee and donuts, taste of retirement living and more.
Every year, more than 5,000 seniors attend the free event. They visit more than 100 booths for information on health and wellness, travel, senior living, home health, insurance and finance, and more.
