Another Successful Fairdale Fair & Health Expo!

Fairdale Fair 2012
This past weekend’s Fairdale Fair was a huge success! The severe weather held off just long enough Friday evening and Saturday gave us absolutely perfect fair weather. It was great to be able to talk with so many constituents throughout the weekend. Our District 13 Health Expo on Saturday was very well attended and fairgoers were able to receive flu shots as well as free health screenings and information. Many thanks to this year’s health vendors for their participation and for offering these vital services to our community in such a convenient setting!
