Stretch and Massage Zone
Our friends at Stretch Zone and Mend Massage Therapy will be set-up throughout the day to provide complimentary stretches and head/neck/shoulder massages. They will explain the importance of staying flexible and mitigating stress as we age.
Speed Friending
Enjoy this facilitator-led, lively activity focused on making new friends and aiding in the process of connecting people with common interests. Participants will enjoy brief 5-minute ‘get-to-know-you’ encounters where they will learn basic information about each other and then move on to the next potential friend. At the end, participants can decide if they want to further develop these fledgling friendships on their own or just enjoy the fun of the day.
The Ukuladies
The Ukuladies are fun-loving musicians from around the Milwaukee and Southeast Wisconsin area who enjoy playing and singing together. While most play ukuleles of various sizes, they also play banjolele, mandolin, accordion and the occasional flute.
Live Music and Karaoke in the Atrium by Two of a Kind
In true active aging fashion, the fantastic ____ Family will perform live music and karakoke in the main Atrium from 10am – 11am and then again from 12pm – 2pm. Judy, Mary and their 80-year-old father have been entertaining crowds under the name of Two of a Kind for over 30-years and will have you tapping your toes and dancing in the hallway to songs you know and love.
Italian Community Center – Bocce Ball
The game of Bocce began as early as 264 B.C. in Rome, Italy, and involves rolling balls to win points by getting them close to a target. The game is played in teams and is a lot of fun! Over 25 million people in the US alone play bocce. Learn how to play and where you can get involved in a nearby league. This activity is compliments of the Italian Community Center, home of Festa Italiana, The Taste of Italy and many more beloved Milwaukee events. Stop by their booth in the Exhibit Hall to give Bocce Ball a try!
