- St. Louis, MO-IL (1888PressRelease) July 11, 2012 - As a growing portion of our population continues to age, many communities are joining forces with local organizations in an effort to promote healthy senior living. Baue Funeral Homes, Crematory and Cemetery, has been at the forefront of the initiative for the past several years with their annual Silver & Gold Healthy Living Senior Fair. The free event, now in its 8th year, will be held Tuesday, August 7 from 10:00 AM - 2:00 PM at the St. Charles Convention Center.

The free event will showcase over 100 vendors with products and services of interest to area seniors.
Highlighting the Senior Fair this year is guest speaker Dr. John Morley, M.D., Director of Geriatric Medicine at Saint Louis University. His unorthodox approach, which includes advocating against therapeutic diets, has been able to help hundreds of seniors remain vital and vibrant. Dr. Morley will be speaking on the main stage from 11:00 AM - Noon.
Attendees of this year's Senior Fair will be able to take advantage of a variety of free health screenings such as blood pressure and blood sugar testing as well as physical evaluations of balance and coordination.
