ROSENBERG - One of the most popular community events at the Fort Bend County Fair, Senior Citizen’s Day, is traditionally enjoyed by over 1,300 area seniors. The event, which begins at 8 am and ends at noon, has been rescheduled this year for Monday, September 22nd, the Monday before the Fair begins. Traditionally held the first Monday of the Fair and outdoors in the arena, this year, the September 22nd Senior Citizen’s Day will be held indoors in Building “C” on the fairgrounds to provide a more comfortable, easily accessible environment for the seniors.

“Relocating Senior Citizen’s Day to an indoor venue will provide a much better experience for our seniors,” said William Carter, Fair Director in charge of the Senior Citizen’s Day Committee. “Hosting the event in the outdoor arena, we have been faced with many concerns for our seniors regarding mobility, safety and access to restrooms. With the enormous growth and popularity of the event, it is our goal to ensure that our seniors have a wonderful time while being safe and comfortable.”

By hosting the event indoors in Building “C”, seniors will be have the opportunity to be dropped off at the front door of the building for easier access. Additionally, the building is air conditioned with enclosed rest room facilities providing a more comfortable environment.

Senior Citizen’s Day features live entertainment, lunch and goodie bags for the attending seniors. Admission is free and all area seniors are invited to attend. Vendors and volunteers interested in participating in the event can contact the Fort Bend County Fair office at 281-342-6171, visit www.fbcfa.org or e-mail info@fbcfa.org.
