BeaconFest has been rescheduled.

BeaconFest Boomer & Senior Fair rescheduled for Wednesday, August 19, 2020

This year’s BeaconFest Boomer & Senior Fair* will be bigger than ever. With booths from over 100 vendors displaying their senior-related products and services, BEACON Senior News’ annual mature lifestyle expo in Grand Junction has kept up with western Colorado’s growing retiree population, making it the largest senior fair in the state.

Don't forget to stop by the AARP Colorado booth for information and more giveaways.

The 20th annual boomer and senior expo takes place from 9 a.m.-3 p.m. on Aug. 19 at Grand Junction Convention Center (formerly Two Rivers Convention Center) in downtown Grand Junction. Admission is free!

“BeaconFest is a one-of-a-kind event for seniors in the Grand Valley and a fun way for the BEACON to celebrate our readers and our community,” said BEACON Publisher Kevin VanGundy.

Attendees immerse themselves in a day filled with prize giveaways every half-hour, free food and high-energy music by King ‘n’ Trio, Javier de los Santos, Peggy Malone and many other local entertainers. They can meet one on one with local businesses and community organizations and attend seminars to learn about products and services specifically for them.

The biggest prize of all takes place at the end of the day when one lucky attendee will win two tickets to see The Doobie Brothers at Pepsi Center in Denver. Plan to stick around, as you must be present to win.

Don’t miss the chance to honor 10 outstanding volunteers at the highly anticipated Volunteer of the Year ceremony near the main stage at 1 p.m. Volunteers will be recognized for their contributions to community organizations, and the reader-selected Volunteer of the Year will be revealed.

Cast your vote for Volunteer of the Year at www.BeaconSeniorNews.com. For more information about BeaconFest, call 970-243-8829 or visit www.BeaconFest.BeaconSeniorNews.com.

Volunteer of the Year nominees will be honored at the rescheduled show. New voting guidelines will be outlined in our April edition of the BEACON Senior News, which will be available in print and at www.BeaconSeniorNews.com on March 31.
