The future of several community education and outreach programs is looking bright. All  proceeds generated by the annual Holistic/Psychic Faire, held Saturday at the Wareham Elks Lodge, benefit community education and outreach programs.

Now in its tenth year, the event -- hosted by the First Spiritualist Church of Onset and  Wareham Emblem Club 99 -- drew a big crowd. The faire featured 29 astrologers, mediums, tea leaf readers, and clairvoyants, along with tarot readings, reiki, and energy healing.

"We help on a spirituality level," explained Pastor Kathleen Hoffman from the First Spiritualist Church. "Educate, enrich, empower. ... The readings bring comfort to people and it's a fundraiser to help the community."

The proceeds help support local scholarships, disaster relief efforts, Christmas food and toy drives, and more.
