Nearly 500 people attended Age of Celebration, a free block party and aging resource fair open to adults over 60 and caregivers.

The May 30 event gave older adults an opportunity to connect with agencies providing information about healthy aging and health testing, including onsite A1C testing and blood pressure tests. Age of Celebration was held at the Robert J. Mohart Multi-Purpose Center and was part of MARC's May Older Americans Month activities.

In total, 88 community agencies came together to provide resources and workshops on topics including caregiving strategies, beneficiary deeds, and how to avoid scams and fraud, as well as exercise and seated yoga demonstrations. Three food trucks offered "small plate" lunches, and attendees danced to live music by Stranded in the City and enjoyed the Photo Bus KC photo booth and outdoor games.

Thank you for this event. I really enjoyed it! It gave me a lot of insight into what is available for seniors in the area. Everyone was very friendly and the energy level was good.
