Over 40 local, not-for-profit agencies will be offering information at staffed booths to seniors, adults, families, youth and children about FREE and low cost services and programs.
The Fair will feature over 40 booths from a wide variety of service providers and someone will be available at each booth to speak to the public about their particular program or service.
