OGDENSBURG, New York (WWNY) – Hundreds of people gathered at the Great Room at the Ogdensburg Airport on Monday for the return of the Seniorama, a resource expo offering services and vendors to senior citizens in St. Lawrence County.<\/p>\n
The North Country Chapter of the NY Statewide Senior Action Council, which spans eight counties, organized the event. It was the expo\u2019s return to St. Lawrence County after an absence of several years.<\/p>\n
Services, vendors and community<\/p>\n
Vendors at the event included representatives from Medicare, the New York State Comptroller\u2019s office, household product sellers, and clean energy services. Political campaigns were also present.<\/p>\n
Mary Jane Barnes of the NY Statewide Senior Action Council said the event removed barriers to accessing services.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey don\u2019t need the appointment to talk to somebody from Medicare, to go to the NYS comptroller\u2019s office and ask questions. They don\u2019t need that appointment; they can set up a follow right here,\u201d Barnes said.<\/p>\n
Louise Jenson of the North Country Clean Energy Hub described her organization\u2019s role at the event.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are a free, non-profit service that provides homeowners and tenants with information about how to save on their energy use,\u201d Jenson said.<\/p>\n
Connie Stowell, representing Princess House Products, said she was meeting new and familiar faces at the expo.<\/p>\n
\u201cI have healthy cookware and storage and I\u2019m meeting a lot of new great friends and seeing a lot of old and everybody seems to be enjoying themselves,\u201d Stowell said.<\/p>\n
Open to all ages<\/p>\n
The Seniorama was not limited to senior citizens. Younger attendees were also welcome to learn about services that may be available to them in the future.<\/p>\n
Barnes said she expects the event to return to the Ogdensburg Airport.<\/p>\n
\u201cI really like this place. So I think we can fit more tables in and handle it. I\u2019d come here again,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
The Seniorama was described as one of the largest events held so far at the Great Room at the Ogdensburg Airport.<\/p>\n
