Senior Day in the Park Scheduled for May 5

A much anticipated event is expected to return on May 5 when Senior Day in the Park is planned at Mooney Grove Park.

While details at press time were yet to be confirmed, representatives of Community Services and Employment Training (CSET) said this year's event will once again feature Elvis-impersonator Jeremy Pierce, along with exhibitor booths, food and music. This year's theme is "April Showers Bring May Flowers."

"This is the first Senior Day in the Park since 2019," said Angel Avitia, director of community initiatives for CSET. "We've been dormant for a long time and now we are coming back. We're really excited to bring it back."

The event begins at 9 a.m. and ends at 2 p.m., and is organized by CSET and the Kings/Tulare Area Agency on Aging. Avitia said a full slate of activities is being planned.

"We will have '50s music and dancing, and meals for seniors, and we're working with a few entertainers who we hope will perform." said Avitia.

Dozens of agencies and organizations that provide services to seniors will again have information tables. An online form will be available soon for exhibitors interested in showcasing their services to local seniors.
