Older Iowans Idols will take the stage at the 2012 Iowa State Fair
The Iowa Family Caregiver Program, in harmony with the Iowa State Fair, invites senior singers to make sweet music on Wednesday, Aug. 15. The Older Iowan Idol Singing Competition presents a venue for aspiring amateur vocalists during the Older Iowans Day at the Fair.
Whether your musical style is toe-tapping country, old fashioned crooning or rebel rousing rock 'n roll, any Iowan who is a family caregiver or a senior age 60+ is eligible to participate. The spotlight will only shine on soloists, duos, trios and quartets. Registration deadline is Aug. 6.
For more details or to receive the rules and entry form, contact: Older Iowa Idol Contest, c/o Iowa Family Caregiver, 5835 Grand Ave Ste. 106, Des Moines, IA 50312, toll free at (866) 468-7887.
The Older Iowans Day and Older Iowa Idol are sponsored by the Iowa Family Caregiver Program. Each of Iowa’s 13 Area Agencies on Aging offers assistance through the Iowa Family Caregiver Program putting caregivers in touch with essential services to help in their caregiving role and to meet the needs of their older family member or friend. For more information about the Iowa Family Caregiver Program visit our exhibit tent located on Grand Avenue of the State Fair on Older Iowans Day!
For other senior or caregiver concerns, call Seneca Area on Aging at (800) 642-6522.
