There was a steady flow of people visiting the Age-Friendly Expo at Sarnia Arena Thursday.
Catherine Van Bastelaar and her friend Marjorie Cain came in from Corunna for the event.
They were spotted dressing up in costumes at the Active Ears Hearing Centres photo booth.
Van Bastelaar said she came to the event to keep up with the latest technology.
"My husband had ALS [Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis], he's gone now, but I like to keep ahead with the devices and things that are out there, because they're always changing," said Van Bastelaar. "You never know what I'm going to need as time goes on."
Retired nurse Sharon Caines was showing off Voxx Life products.
"We are demonstrating how we can help people improve their balance, strength and range of motion," said Caines.
Lambton Elderly Outreach Executive Director Bill Yurchuk was promoting the services they provide.
"The demographic is certainly getting older by the minute and we try to expand our services to meet the needs of the seniors and adults with disabilities," he said. "So when we have an opportunity to come to an event like this to be able to pass that message on to people, who may not have heard of us or only know of some of our services, we're very hopeful it's going to be a well attended event -- and so far it is."
The event, targeted at the 65 plus crowd, had over 100 exhibitors and was on until 7 p.m.
