Call for vendors for Lombard's 17th annual Senior Fair in October

The Village of Lombard is inviting vendors to participate in the 17th annual Senior Fair scheduled to take place on Wednesday, Oct. 4.

It will be from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Lombard Park District's Madison Meadow Athletic Center.

The event provides local seniors with resources, promote health awareness through education and screenings, and offers details about available programs and services in the area.

"The Senior Fair provides an excellent opportunity for vendors to showcase their services and connect with our senior community, while contributing to a great cause," said Lombard Village Trustee Dan Militello, chair of the Community Relations Committee, which helps to organize the event.

The fair has been well-received in previous years, with popular services including flu shots, blood pressure readings, hearing tests, DMV services, and offerings from community groups and local vendors. Admission is free for all attendees.

Interested vendors are encouraged to participate by submitting an application available at villageoflombard.org/seniorfair.

The deadline for submissions is Friday, Sept. 22.

Vendors representing for-profit businesses will be required to pay a $100 vendor fee, which supports the success of the Senior Fair. Nonprofit groups and government agencies, driven by purposes other than commercial gain, will be exempt from the vendor fee.
