BOOMER-PALOOZA
RETURNS TO CHARLEROI


Featuring Bruce In The USA: the World’s #1 Tribute to Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band


Boomer-Palooza will return to Chamber Plaza, Charleroi on Monday, May 5, from 3 to 8 p.m.

More than 150 booths will display the best of local businesses, restaurants and services available to area residents. Each will provide information and showcase products and services designed especially for both men and women of boomer-age – those born from 1946 to 1964.

It is estimated that 330 baby boomers turn 60 every hour and boomers are looking for access to new products, services and opportunities. Trends are changing as a result of this huge age group. SPHS Aging Services and a team of community agencies and businesses have been working hard to make this year’s Palooza bigger and better. More than 1,000 boomers turned out for last year’s event.

Boomer-Palooza’s Valley Favorite Foods also will return this year highlighting even more samplings of delectable treats than last year.

And, as an added bonus, this year’s featured entertainment is a legendary musical tribute to the Boss. Matt Ryan, a cast-member of the world famous “Legends in Concert” show in Las Vegas, evolved “Bruce In The USA” from his incredible portrayal of “The Boss”. It led to the creation of the band taking the tribute to a whole new level, on the road and right into Charleroi.

Ballroom dancing, cooking demos and health screenings will take place amid the rocking repertoire of “The Boss.”

Admission is $3 admission with children under 12 admitted free. $1 off coupons will be available in local businesses and on the Boomer-Palooza website.

Boomer-Palooza – A Definition
 
What is a “baby boomer”?
Generally speaking, a baby boomer is someone born during a period of increased birth rates, or baby boom. In the United States, the term is iconic and more properly capitalized as Baby Boomers. The term is commonly applied to people with birth years after World War II, 1946 to 1964.
What is a Palooza?
A palooza on the other hand is a little more difficult to define. Loosely put, a palooza is an extravaganza, a humdinger, something outstanding of its kind.
