Dear Editor,

The Belmont County Adult Services Coalition would like to take the opportunity to thank the donors, the Ohio Valley Mall, the media, and everyone who helped make the 22nd Senior Support Fair a success. Special thanks to this year’s co-chairs Tate Blanchard and Stephanie Sauvageot and the Fair Committee, who worked to offer a successful event for the community’s older adults and their caregivers!

The Fair’s goal is to offer information that will help older adults and caregivers learn about options and make informed decisions on services and care. Those who need services have the opportunity to meet those who offer services. Exhibitors have the opportunity to meet consumers, and to network with colleagues and learn about their services. It’s a win-win!

The event (formerly the Caregiver Support Fair and the Older Adult Expo) is a special project of the Belmont County Adult Services Coalition and was on hiatus for two years due to COVID. This year saw a return of the event with 45 exhibitors. Health screens, information, giveaways, door prizes, and games were available for Fair-goers.

Thank you to those who came to the event and helped make it a successful return! Thank you again to those who made it happen! We are so grateful to have the support of the community.

Ann Koegler
