Fair Acres residents, families, friends, and members of the community are invited to attend the Fair, which not only raises funds to benefit the residents, but also gives residents a change to visit with the people who call Fair Acres home. The June Fair features water ice, strawberry shortcake, grilled hot dogs, hamburgers, a bake table and a wide array of unique items that will be raffled off at the end of the day.
Fair Acres provides individualized skilled nursing care for more than 900 residents, ranging in age from young adults to the elderly.
