Visalia Senior Center Fall Open House Scheduled for Oct. 13

Visalia Senior Center is getting ready to celebrate fall with its annual Senior Center Fall Open House.

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

The Fall Open House is expected to include more than 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 Open House is an event that welcomes the community to our wonderful facility, and invites vendors to share their services with everyone interested," said Holly Ellis, recreation coordinator for the City of Visalia Parks & Recreation Department.

"This year's theme is superheroes and those who come in costume will receive an extra ticket for the door prizes at the end of the event," she added. "Vendors are invited to decorate their booths to match the theme."

The event will also feature information about 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 by 4 p.m. on October 11 at the Senior Center.

For more information about attending the event or becoming a vendor, call the Visalia Senior Center at (559) 713-4381 or email recreation@visalia.city.

Vendors' tables are first-come-first-served and there are a limited number of tables available.
