DUBLIN FAIR FEATURES SERVICES FOR DISABLED

"Rising Expectations," an ability awareness fair that will highlight services for the disabled, also will feature a children's art festival.

The fair is scheduled for May 9.

The purpose of the fair is to provide information on available services and technologies that can help a disabled person become more independent.

The fair will feature exhibits by commercial vendors, demonstrations and displays, educational programs, a puppet performance and wheelchair sports.

There also will be a special presentation by an assist dog.

The activities start at 10:15 a.m. with a storyteller and end around 3:30 p.m. with a wheelchair sports demonstration.

For information, call Jack Wade at 674-3610.
