The Wareham Council on Aging will host the Healthy Lifestyle Fair on September 18 from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the Multi-service Center.

The fair will provide information and resources to help community-members live healthier, said Marcia Griswold, Director of Senior & Social Services.

Among the events, the Southcoast Health Van will stop by to provide health screenings, AT&T will give tips on using cell phones, the Red Cross will host a workshop on emergency preparedness, a rheumatologist will speak about arthritis, and an attorney will be on-hand to answer questions about elder law issues.

The fair will showcase the various classes offered at the Council on Aging, will display artwork done by seniors in some of the classes, and will include a demonstration on working with clay.

Fair-goers will also have the chance to sign up for an upcoming walking club.

The entire community is welcome. For more information, contact the Council on Aging at 508-291-3130.
