FARMINGTON – SeniorsPlus is presenting the 18th annual Aging Well Living Well Franklin County Expo on Friday, April 25, 2025, at the University of Maine Farmington, Olsen Student Center, 111 South St., Farmington. This half-day event, running from 8:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., offers older adults and their families an opportunity to learn, connect, and engage with workshops, exhibitors, and more—all at no cost. The event begins with a continental breakfast and concludes with a chance to win raffle prizes.
The expo, hosted by SeniorsPlus, the designated Area Agency on Aging for Western Maine, provides a unique educational and social experience. Attendees will have the opportunity to participate in three 45-minute workshops of their choice from topics including estate and long-term care planning, understanding Medicare, Bingocize, emergency preparedness, internet safety, funeral options, and backyard birding. Additional offerings include an e-bike demonstration and secure paper shredding. A variety of exhibitor booths will also be available, offering resources, products, and services relevant to older adults and caregivers. Expo attendees can bring their expired and/or unused medications for secure disposal to the Franklin County Sheriff’s Office, a short drive from the UMF campus.
“Our goal is to inspire and encourage healthy, active aging,” said Betsy Sawyer-Manter, president and CEO of SeniorsPlus. “This event is a wonderful way for older adults to gain valuable knowledge while also enjoying a social and engaging atmosphere.”
