United Senior Services (USS) invites the community to celebrate Clark County Older Americans Day Celebration on Tuesday, May 6, 2025, at the Clark County Fairgrounds – Arts & Crafts Building from 9:30 AM to 2:00 PM. This special event, held during Older Americans Month, will highlight this year’s theme: Flip the Script on Aging, which encourages a shift in how society perceives, talks about, and approaches aging, focusing on highlighting opportunities and contributions of older adults.
The day will kick off with the Senior Living Resource Fair at 9:30 AM, offering attendees the opportunity to explore essential services and programs available to older adults in Clark County. Local vendors and service providers will be available to share information, making this a valuable networking event for older adults and their families.
At 11:30 AM, the annual Older Americans Day Luncheon will begin, featuring live musical entertainment by The Corn Drinkers, door prizes and special awards. Guests will enjoy a catered lunch from Lee’s Chicken.
