We attended the Senior Fair at the Barton Center where vendors came in to tell us about products like the Captel Phone for hard of hearing people, Western Reserve Div. Of Aging, Home Health care Organizations, Assisted Living, Nursing Homes and where they are and what they do, , Life Insurance. There were many organizations that came. They had free ice cream and a food truck also plus a raffle. Some of the stores at the Barton Center were open also.
