Celebrating Better Living After 50
Welcome to Our Halloween Bash; We’re Glad You’re Here If you’re dodging a few Barbies and Kens, and maybe a witch or two, you’re in the right place. Welcome to our Halloween-themed Boomer Bash Southeast at Aurora's lovely Bertram Inn. Co-presented by Northeast Ohio Boomer magazine and Hospice of the Western Reserve, we’ve put together a backdrop of music, merrymaking and masquerading. Bash fans know the drill: make the rounds, meet new folks, enjoy the entertainment, and explore our vendors’ products and services geared to people 50+. Sip our signature cocktail (The Boomer Boo), munch on complimentary food samples, and show off your Halloween costume with old friends and new acquaintances. We’ve got spooky tunes, dancing, games, raffles, prizes and all-around FUN. No other event in Northeast Ohio is quite like a Boomer Bash.
Happy Halloween.
