DART Senior Fair - Connect, Create, Contribute

Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) will host the 25th Older Americans Month Information & Health Fair on Thursday, May 16, at Centennial Hall in Fair Park, 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. The annual event is one of the largest held in North Texas.

This year's theme, Connect, Create, Contribute, encourages older adults and their communities to connect with friends, family, and services that support participation; create by engaging in activities that promote learning, health, and personal enrichment; and contribute time, talent, and life experience to benefit others.

Community partners supporting the fair this year include the City of Dallas, Dallas Police Department, Community Council, Baylor Scott & White Health and Wellness Center, and The Senior Source. Media partners include Al Día, fyi 50+, NBCDFW.com Channel 5, Seniors BlueBook, Seniorific.com, Telemundo 39 and The Dallas Morning News.

The free event showcases businesses and public services of special interest to older adults, caregivers and families plus provides health screenings, entertainment, giveaways and more.
