Senior Fair set Thursday

Kankakee County State’s Attorney Jim Rowe is hosting his sixth annual Senior Safety Fair from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Thursday at the Quality Inn & Suites in Bradley.

The event is for seniors and caretakers, and it will feature more than 70 vendors, expert guest speakers, 50-plus raffle prizes, free giveaways and lunch.

The event is free to attend. No registration is necessary. This is the largest annual senior event in Kankakee County.

It will feature speakers to help seniors protect themselves from fraud and scams; to answer questions on recent changes to Medicaid; and to provide advice on wills, trusts and estate planning. There also will be a special police K-9 demonstration, and the Hidden In Plain Sight trailer will be on-site so seniors can identify how to keep their children and grandchildren safe from drugs.

The vendors cover every topic from recreation and volunteering to health and wellness. There even will be free massages provided on-site thanks to the Institute of Natural Health and Education.

For information, call Carrie Stewart at 815-915-1484 or Jim Rowe at 815-450-7459.
