Commission on Aging Holds 32nd Senior Fest |
| Ewen - July 27, 2009 The Ontonagon Area Commission on Aging held its thirty second annual "Senior Fest" at the Ewen - Trout Creek School this past week. Many area health and service providers were on hand to to give the large turn-out of seniors information about health care and other senior related matters. |
| On hand were home health care providers and
representatives from organizations such as : Community Action, Aspirus,
and Cooper Country Mental Health. The representatives came prepared
with a myriad of informational brochures and pamphlets for the seniors
to read. There also were blood pressure and blood sugar testing
available for those wishing to have the free tests. There were raffles and grab bags, as well as entertainment for those attending the event. Arvo Toolanen and his sister, Linda Graham provided music and stories for the group gathering in the cafetorium. The turnout seemed much larger than in the past, partly due to the transportation to and from the event by ONTRAN buses. The annual event is successfully produced by Joan Harris, director of the Ontonagon Area on Aging. |
