The Best Years and The Chateau Girardeau to present second annual Active Living Expo

The Best Years' second annual Active Living Expo presented by The Chateau Girardeau will be from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Sept. 20 at the Isle Casino in Cape Girardeau.

The free event will be a fun, informative and engaging day presented for seniors and people of retirement age.

"We are excited to partner with The Chateau Girardeau again this year for this great event," said Donna Denson, Southeast Missourian advertising director. "The Active Living Expo is a great opportunity for seniors to come together and learn what the area has to offer. It truly embraces what The Best Years publication is all about, which is living well during the years of retirement."

Along with the opportunity to learn more about community events and organizations, the expo gives attendees the chance to meet and interact with other community members who may have similar interests and hobbies. It's a great way to connect and learn more about the area's exciting facilities, programs and events.
