Seniors,
caregivers and their families will be

America
is growing older — and that’s
certainly true in the Northland.
In the year 2000, the 60-plus population
was:
•
16.3 percent of the national population.
•
15.7 percent of the Minnesota
population.
•
21 percent of the Arrowhead region’s
population.
And
by 2030, according to widely accepted
state of Minnesota forecasts, the
state’s senior population will reach
an amazing 25 percent or more. This
group of more than 1.25 million people
represents enormous buying power and
economic clout. All the more reason for
our exhibitors to participate in Duluth
Senior Expo 2008. And the exhibitors, in
turn, create great interest among
seniors. It all adds up to quite the
buzz on the exhibit floor.
The
Duluth Senior Expo 2008, October 16, at
the DECC, is sponsored by Humana, Minnesota Power, Interim Health Care, WDIO-WIRT, Fond-du-Luth Casino, City of
Duluth - Senior Programs, Northland Foundation and
Christie Printing
