Hundreds Attend Groton Community Services Fair

Hundreds stopped at the Groton Senior Center Wednesday for the annual Community Services Fair, which drew 82 vendors and agencies - from the Alzheimer's Association to the Groton Parks and Recreation - to talk to residents.

"I enjoyed it, and people were very knowledgeable and helped me out a lot," said Rose Wiech, of Groton, who attended for the first time.

"We took time to have lunch, and that was spectacular," added Evelyn Kraemer, also of Groton.

The service fair included information about topics like health care, insurance, state programs, nutrition and legal services.

Vendors included municipal departments like Groton Human Services and the Groton Town Police; businesses like the Sound Audiology and Hearing Center, and health agencies, legal groups, pharmacies, nursing homes and banks.
