Mark your calendars for 11 am.-2 p.m. Wednesday, March 24, for the eighth annual Health, Business, and Industry Fair at the fairgrounds. The event is sponsored by the Paulding County Senior Center, with promotional assistance from the Paulding Area Social Service Network and the Paulding Chamber of Commerce.
Marsha Yeutter, coordinator for the Paulding County Senior Center, started it all with a health fair. In the second year, businesses were invited to set up at the event. From there on, the yearly event continued to grow, adding various vendors and much more.
The Health, Business and Industry Fair will be held at the Paulding County Extension Building. This year, so far, it is expected that approximately 40 vendors will be at the fair. There is room for approximately 60 tables.
“There is still room for more vendors and services to sign up and be a part,” said Yeutter.
Some of those already signed up for the fair are: NOCAC, who will be giving information on weatherization, Community Health Professionals, four area nursing homes, Paulding County Hospital, Americare, P&R Medical, Mary Kay, Paulding Day Care, Schweller Electric, Tri-County Roofing, Paulding County Health Department and many more. Several vendors will be donating door prizes.
There will be blood pressure checks available, and other health checks. There will be information on businesses, industries, educational activities and fun activities for children.
Everyone is welcome to attend this free event, as there will be something for everyone to enjoy.
Homemade soup and sandwiches will be available from 11 a.m.-2 p.m. Carryout is available.
The sponsors of the Health, Industry and Business Fair feel that it is important for the residents of Paulding County to know the choices they have available for health and nutrition, financial assistance, educational services, and business and industry.
The registration fee is $15 per table for nonprofit organizations, and $30 for for-profit businesses. For questions or further information, call Yeutter at the senior center, 419-399-3650.
