Mauel Allemant - I want to compliment you on a job well done. I've had a wonderful time throughout the years . The event is always well organized . The themes are well thought out. The staff is amazing and the painting booth was a nice addition to be creative.

Melinda Boyd - Thank you! My fondest memory was when I met Lucy Arnaz in person. We had a lot in common. Her parents home which she remembered was near the home I grew up in. She is a wonderful and kind person. I lalso love painting with Debbie Veramonties and going around to all the booths I have learned many things. I get tests done. Every year has been special. Love all the videos and enjoy watching my friends dancing. I am so happy to have the virtual one this year.

Stacia Nemeth - What a wonderful job on this "Virtual" Expo! Thank you so much for keeping up with this tradition in a new format. I had the privilege of working backstage with Ingrid Chapman at many Expos and it was always a happily hectic day. So much goes on in one day: flu shots, meals, Senior of the Year, Veteran Service Award, entertainment, prizes, old friends catching up, health information, vendor displays...and always with a clever theme. Thank you, HDMG, for this uplifting event.

Cindy Farrand - Who won senior of the year this year! I want to know!!

Reply From Admin: Hello Cindy, the Senior of the Year announcement happened at 11:00am. Please visit this page here: www.hdmgseniorexpo.com/2020/senior_of_the_year.html to see the video with the winner announcement!

Philip Roberts - I have enjoyed all the booths that are their for the seniors. I am a retired Military veteran and enjoy all the activities and displays. Especially the Entertainers. Thanks for all the wok that goes into making this yearly event available to the Seniors of the Antelope Valley.

Dennis L Anderson - It occurs to me that about 1/3 of my life has involved participation in Senior Expo - that is 22 years. Through that time I have interviewed dozens of Senior of the Year prospects, and honestly, enjoyed every single one - and no, like children, I cannot pick a favorite. Also had an opportunity to interview some of the greats - like Dawn Wells, Lucie Arnaz, Rita Moreno, Naomi Judd and Barbara Eden. It's kind of inspiring and a little disconcerting how wonderful everyone can look these days when they pay attention to healthy habits and exercise. As an Army veteran, Cold War, and Iraq Embed, I really appreciate HDMG's inclusion of the Veterans Community Service Award - good group, all of 'em! Thank You.

Lezlie Licciardi - My job at HDMG Senior Expo for the past 13 years has been assisting the celebrity guests…..as you can imagine it’s VIRTUALLY impossible to choose a favorite among these amazing people: Dawn Wells, Lucie Arnaz, Rita Moreno, Peter Marshall, Naomi Judd, Naomi Judd, Barbara Eden, Lee Meriwether, Ben Vereen, Florence Henderson, Pat Boone, Debbie Reynolds, Elinor Donahue, Tony Dow, June Lockheart, Loretta Swit, Jamie Farr, and Jane Russell. Each one was an experience I will never forget……so how could I pick a favorite!

Margaret Louey - My favorite memory is the people being in line earlier and earlier each year! Chit chatting with them and finding out what they are looking forward to and it is usually Bingo! Funny that those early birds have the ability to wipe out the HDMG staff as they outdo us all and walk away happy! Some of my favorite celebrities were Tony Dow and his sculpture in the Louvre, Debbie Reynolds and who could forget Florence Henderson showing off her six-pack abs! And last but not least the service dogs, there is one that is a basset hound and golden retriever mix! Super short legs but everything else is golden… Amazing!

Elena Pimentel - Senior Expo as a whole is a blast! What makes it a more fulfilling experience is the memory of the happy satisfaction on the faces of the seniors throughout the day and the aftermath. Days after the Expo the seniors tell us they got what they came for and are looking forward to next years Expo! Their smiles are a measure of our GOAL in having the Expo.

Annette Vela - It has been a wonderful experience for me to be a part of Senior Expo for over 20 years. I have met so many seniors, caregivers and members of the community at the events. I don’t think I can pick a favorite year or theme because they were all so unique and fun. I look forward to seeing you all again, in person, next year.

Debbie Rinaldi - I am a huge I Love Lucy fan, so one of my favorite Senior Expo memories is when the celebrity guest was Lucie Arnaz. The seniors brought their “I Love Lucy” memorabilia to be autographed, along with stories of their favorite I Love Lucy episodes. Ms. Arnaz was so gracious to each and every one of them and didn’t mind at all living in her Mother’s shadow. It was such a treat for me as I assisted with the autograph line and got to share in the joy of the moment. Unforgettable!

Debbie Viramontes - The most memorable Senior Expo moment and special to my heart would be creating art with our seniors and watching them be creative in their own unique way.

Theresa Frodin - I've only designed for six expos, but I think my favorite (from a graphic artist's perspective) was 2016. That was the year that we did the "Game of Life," and I was able to incorporate many different games into the look of the flyer. I look forward to designing Senior Expo with my team every year because it is engaging, challenging, and rewarding.
