The 30^th Annual Canton Senior Expo was originally scheduled for April 1, 2020. On March 11, Dayna Yurkovich from Event Day Marketing made this announcement:

In an effort to keep our community safe from the impact of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) and as a result of Governor Mike DeWine’s recommendations, the 30^th Annual Canton Senior Expo is being postponed for a future date. It is not canceled.

We are being proactive in order to focus on the health and safety of our show participants and attendees. This annual event is loved by both businesses and area seniors and this is a milestone year. The show will go on! Our hope is to reschedule within the next few months. We will follow the guidance of the Ohio Department of Health before any official decision will be made.

I will be sure to keep everyone posted as soon as we confirm the rescheduled date for the Canton Senior Expo.  Thanks for your patience and understanding!
