Retirement Fair provides fun, games, food, prizes

The Sequoyah County Times Retirement Fair is an annual community event the newspaper has hosted for senior citizens in Sequoyah County for many years. This year, the fair will be held Saturday at the Sallisaw Middle School. Doors open at 9 a.m., and the event will conclude at noon.

The fair features a number of various businesses and organizations offering free health screenings, information, special gifts and literature about the businesses and services available in the community.

Theme for this year is “Fun and Games.” The event will be filled with fun, games, food and prizes.

“We want to make sure that there is plenty to keep all in attendance entertained,” says Carrie Carberry, advertising manager for Your TIMES.

The fair is free, and there will be donuts and coffee available at the beginning of the fair. To conclude the event, a free lunch will be provided.

“If you are 50 and over, are retired or just thinking of retiring, you will not want to miss this event,” Carberry says. “We are so excited to see everyone’s smiles again this year.”
