ROCHESTER — Rochester families flocked to the third annual Council on Aging Community Fair for an afternoon of “intergenerational” fun under the sun.

“We wanted to have an event [...] for all ages, so grandparents can bring their grandkids, and there’s games for kids and crafts and different things for them to do,” said Eric Poulin, Rochester Council on Aging executive director.

He added, “We just wanted to let people know that we’re here for the whole community. The name is a senior center, but it’s really a community center.”

Tri-town businesses and organizations hosted activities and vendor booths at the event, including the New England Rodeo, Plumb Library, Rochester Historical Society, Rochester Fire Department and Boy Scout Troop 31.

Poulin said there were two new additions to this year’s fair: the Oxcart Food Truck and craft vendors.

Rochester Memorial School fifth grader Grace Scanlon sold her handmade jewelry at the event.

One of her family members encouraged her to host her own booth, telling her “Why not? Just go to this little fair in Rochester,” Scanlon recalled.

She worked on the jewelry displayed at her booth for about “two or three months.”

“I just have a big collection in my house,” Scanlon said.

Her favorite necklaces on display were crafted with checkered designs and smiley faces.

Some booths had resources that directly catered to the needs of senior residents.

Kathy Clark, owner of Moxie Mobility Training, provided information about her elder care business at the fair.

“Our focus is fall reduction and fall risk reduction as well as aging in place,” said Clark. “We try to provide all of it to keep people home and safe.”

Moxie Mobility Training hosts group balance classes, caregiver training and senior fitness classes, in addition to aging in place and home modifications consultations and connecting people with community resources.

While the business is based out of Marion, employees can travel within an hour of the South Coast to see clients, as well as provide virtual consultation on a national level.

“We have clients kind of all over the place,” said Clark.

Poulin emphasized that the fair is meant to serve all residents of Rochester.

“It’s kind of a mix of a bunch of different stuff. It’s just something that we wanted to do for the community, to bring the community in,” he said.
