My 12th annual Senior Fair is just a month away, and I hope to see you there. This free event for Central New York senior citizens and their caregivers will be held from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 27, in the Horticulture Building at the New York State Fairgrounds.
During the event, senior citizens will have the opportunity to speak directly with state and local representatives and service providers about various issues that include healthcare, long-term care, transportation, recreation, housing and the like. In addition, health professionals will be on hand to provide free screenings concerning blood pressure, diabetes and more. There will also be light refreshments, live musical entertainment and fun door prizes.
I decided years ago to hold an annual Senior Fair because I realized how challenging it can sometimes be for seniors to find the important resources they need. That is why I am excited to announce that this year’s Senior Fair will feature more than 100 exhibitors, all under one roof, to help make the process as convenient as possible for seniors.
I am sure this free event will provide you with some priceless information. So please mark your calendars for my 12th annual Senior Fair from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Sept. 27 in the Horticulture Building at the State Fairgrounds.
For more information, you may call my district office at 428-7632 or visit [email protected].
