Crisco to host senior fair next week

ANSONIA - State Sen. Joseph J. Crisco, Jr., D-Woodbridge, has announced plans for this year’s 26th anniversary edition of his annual Senior Fair from 11 a.m. until 2 p.m. Oct. 18. 
The event is held each year at Warsaw Park, 119 Pulaski Highway.
Area senior citizens are invited to attend and participate.
Features of this year’s fair include free glaucoma screening, free therapeutic massage, and free dental screenings, Crisco said. 
Admission is free for residents of Crisco’s 17th District; a box lunch will be provided.
“I want to encourage all area seniors to attend – more than 40 non-profit groups, state and local agencies, and civic organizations with helpful products and services for seniors are registered to exhibit at this year’s Senior Fair,” Crisco said. “There is no substitute for face-to-face contact with those who can benefit; vendors routinely describe the pleasure they take interacting on a personal level with senior citizens at this event.”
“This fair has repeatedly served the best interests of 17th District seniors and has proven itself time and again as a most effective outreach tool, matching products and information about state and local services, programs, and activities with those for whom they are intended and who can best use the information,” Crisco said. 
“We’ve had such an enthusiastic response to this event in previous years – I would encourage all those who can attend to do so again.”
This information is taken from a release from Crisco's office.
