Group demonstrations will also be scheduled throughout the Fair, offering a chance to try activities like yoga, storytelling, Zumba, and balance exercises. Care Partners Executive Director Julie Wilson hopes that this event “not only helps people understand conditions like dementia but also gets them excited about taking positive steps toward better brain health at any age.
