Vendors invited to apply for 18th annual Lombard Senior Fair

The village of Lombard is inviting vendors to participate in its 18th annual Senior Fair scheduled for Wednesday, Oct. 2.

This event helps provide local seniors with resources, promotes health awareness through education and screenings, and offers information about available programs and services in the area.

“The Senior Fair provides an excellent opportunity for vendors to promote their valuable services and connect with our senior community while contributing to a great cause,” said 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 such as flu shots, blood pressure readings, hearing tests, DMV services and additional offerings from community groups and local vendors. Admission is free for all attending seniors.

Interested vendors are encouraged to participate by submitting an application available at villageoflombard.org/seniorfair. The deadline for submissions is Friday, Sept. 13.

Vendors representing for-profit businesses will be required to pay a $100 vendor fee, which supports the success of the Senior Fair. Not-for-profit groups and government agencies driven by purposes other than commercial gain will be exempt from the vendor fee.

The fair will be 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Lombard Park District’s Madison Meadow Athletic Center, 500 E. Wilson Ave.
