Print More

A wellness fair with music, activities, raffles, food and brain health awareness is planned for the 2022 summer solstice, Tuesday, June 21, from 4:30 to 8:30 p.m.

The fair will take place on the lawn of the South Congregational Church, 242 Salmon Brook Street, weather permitting. If rain, the fair will be moved to First Church Cook Hall, 219 North Granby Road.

Over the past 20 years, deaths from Alzheimer’s increased by 145 percent. Alzheimer’s kills more people than breast and prostate cancers combined. Last year, the cost of Alzheimer’s and dementia related care was $321 billion. Proceeds from the fair will benefit the Alzheimer’s Association.

Please save the date, June 21, and plan to join other members of the community at this fun and informative fair. Volunteers and vendors are invited to contact Heather Dobbert at 860-819-1528 or heatherdobbert@gmail.com
