The fair was held on November 16, 2017. This paper will address how the project was planned and what steps were taken to prepare for the event. It will include photos of the events and activities that took place the day of the event. It will also include an evaluation of data collected and recommendations for future similar projects.

I thought about several different ideas including stress management education to family caregivers and nutrition education for elementary school children. I also contemplated mentoring with social workers at a long-term care facility. My final thought was to plan a health and wellness fair for caregivers at a long-term care facility. This is the plan that I began to develop and then proposed to my committee members, Dr. Chloe Merrill, Dr. Barrett Bonella and Professor Marie Clayton.
