More than 40 vendor tables, a craft fair, a bake sale, massages, center tours, and much more will be part of a Resource Fair slated for Tuesday, Sept. 19, at the L.E. Phillips Senior Center in Eau Claire.

The event, which is sponsored by the Celebration of Life Center at Chippewa Valley Cremation Services, begins at 8am and will run until 3:30pm at the senior center, 1616 Bellinger St. All ages are welcome, and admission is free. 

“The fair coincides with National Senior Center Month,” said Jackie Minor, the center’s director. “We wanted to make this fair as complete and interesting as possible to appeal to as many people as we could.” 

The fair will feature over 40 vendor tables with representatives on hand to offer myriad products and services to attendees. The fair also will include a craft fair, bake sale, treats for sale in the center’s café, massages, and tours of the center. T-shirts will be available for sale as well. 

The nonprofit senior center serves people 50 years and older. It has more than 2,000 members who pay yearly dues for access to programming and a fitness center. More information is available at lep-sc.org or (715) 839-4909.
