Lively, curious crowds always seem to fill the ballroom at Thrive Dover, and the 2023 event was no exception. Thrive Dover – Senior Life After 55 returned on July 21 with exhibitors, demos, dance, door prizes, healthcare and much more for older adults. The Delaware State News was proud to host this event at, and in partnership with, Noble’s Pond housing community.

Guests were welcomed to Thrive at the 55+ lifestyle community near Dover. There were both familiar faces and new attendees, as people came to explore, including those who’ve had a good time at past Thrive events. There was dancing, yoga, food trucks, vendors and experts in the field to help older adults plan for future needs and pick some new activities.
