The Huntington County Senior Expo rolls around next week for its 12th year, bringing with it the food, the entertainment and the information crowds have come to expect each year.

The free event is set for Thursday, May 19, from 8 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. in the Huntington University fieldhouse.

Not much has changed from previous years, notes Dick Murray, who’s in charge of planning this year’s extravaganza. Not much, that is, except Murray himself.

“I’m new and different,” he says with a smile.
