Visalia Senior Center Fall Open House Planned for Oct. 13

School is back in session, which means that fall is just around the corner and the Visalia Senior Center is getting ready to celebrate fall with its annual Senior Center Fall Open House.

This event, scheduled for Thursday, October 13th, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Visalia Senior Center, 310 N. Locust St., Visalia, will feature plenty of information, programs and a lunch ($6). Attendance is free for guests of all ages.

The Fall Open House will feature 40+ local vendors, each hand-selected as an agency, program or business that offers vital resources for mature adults. As a result, the event connects seniors, families and caregivers with the community resources available to them.

"The Visalia Senior Center is a staple in our community, and we are back and ready for a wonderful Fall Open House event. The Visalia Senior Center is full of energy and is really the perfect place for mature adults looking for activities, classes and friendly faces," said Holly Ellis, recreation coordinator for the City of Visalia Parks & Recreation Department.

"This open house is a chance for regular visitors and new faces alike to get a glimpse of all the wonderful opportunities available to local seniors," she added.

This year, the open house event will feature a room specific to the programs and activities the City of Visalia offers the senior community.

At 11:30 a.m., attendees can take a break from the booths, grab a seat and enjoy a lunch prepared on site by caterers for $6. Lunch tickets are limited and must be purchased ahead of time. Tickets go on sale beginning September 1st at the Visalia Senior Center.

This year's theme will be a classic celebration of the Fall season. Vendors are invited to decorate their booths to match the theme.
