The Oswego County Senior Fair features more than 50 vendors distributing valuable information regarding services and programs of interest for seniors. In addition, Oswego Health, Caring Community Advoc ates and the Rural Health Network of Oswego County have collaborated to cre ate a comprehensive resource directory book.
“This directory is the ultimate collection of available resources fo r Oswego County seniors,” said Oswego County Opportunities (OCO) Coordinato r of Community Health Leanna Cleveland. “It’s filled with detailed informat ion on services and programs available for seniors as well as information r egarding contacting and how to access them. The free resource directory wil l be available free of charge while supplies last.”
Entrance to the Senior Fair will be through th e Oswego Speedway’s Kartway Gate on City Line Road. Attendees will be directed to the racetrack where the vendors will be located. Bathrooms wil l also be available on site at the entrance and exit to the fair.
Upon entering the fair attendees will receive a free tote bag, courtesy of the Alzheimer’s Association, that can be used t o place all of the items received from vendors as they drive through. Upon leaving the Senior Fair, those who wish can receive a box of food courtesy of the CNY Food Bank’s Mobile Food Pantry. Each box includes fresh produce, refrigerator items, and shelf stable goods. Boxes will be available on a f irst come first served basis while supplies last. The boxes will be loaded into the vehicles as guests exit the fair.
Operating under the auspices of OCO’s Rural Health Network, Caring Com munity Advocates works to meet the needs of Oswego County’s senior populati on as well as their caregivers.
