"Caregiving is such hard work, so we always put on this event to invite the caregivers in Erie to come out, have a good time, it's free, laugh, hang out, and just have fun and take a break from that hard work of caregiving," said Dina Scribner, Independent Council on Aging's vice president.
The Independent Council on Aging will host their free senior luncheon on Valentine's Day for seniors in the community to enjoy lunch and live music.
