The Seniors Active Living Fair was held March 1 at Ingersoll Services for Seniors. It brought together older adults, local organizations, and community leaders for a day of engagement, learning, and wellness.

The event featured more than 20 vendors, including both non-profit and for-profit organizations, showcasing services and activities designed to support the well-being of older adults. Attendees were able to explore local resources, participate in interactive wellness presentations, and engage in fitness demonstrations tailored for seniors.

Deputy Mayor Lindsay Wilson provided residents with insights into town events and initiatives aimed at enhancing the quality of life for seniors in the community. Participants appreciated the opportunity to connect with local leaders and discuss topics important to them.

“We were thrilled with the turnout and the enthusiasm from both attendees and vendors,” said a representative from Ingersoll Services for Seniors. “It was inspiring to see so many members of our community actively engaging in learning about their health and the services available to them.”

The fair served as a platform to promote active living and community engagement among older adults, reinforcing the importance of staying informed and connected. Attendees expressed gratitude for the valuable information and interactive opportunities provided throughout the day. With such a positive response, organizers are optimistic about future events and look forward to continuing to support and empower seniors in the Ingersoll area.
