There are likely to be a  bunch of ‘em Tuesday at Lipscomb’s Allen Arena, which will host the Expo 50 fair showcasing all kinds of products catering to the older crowd.

Products from hot tubs to walk-in tubs or a sunny vacation to a screened-in sunroom; services from Medicare advocacy groups to social opportunities will be on-hand in this gathering of senior living organizations. Entertainment, product demonstrations and informational seminars will be held throughout the day.
