"The seminar will also provide attendees with local pharmacy information." The second SHIIP seminar at 1:30 p.m. is titled "Medicare 101," and will provide a comprehensive overview of the Medicare program. Lunch will be available for purchase from 11 a.m - 1 p.m. The cost is $6 for those age 55 and older and $6.50 for all others. "The really exciting thing we've got going on at the 'Super Spectacular' celebration is our reverse drawing," says Hamrick. "Tickets cost $100 each, and the last number drawn at the end of the day will win $15,000!" Other raffle prizes will also be awarded, and the drawing for prizes will begin at 6 p.m. A hot dog supper will begin at 5 p.m., and all raffle participants will be eligible to eat for free.
