Hosted by The Chamber, EVOLVE: Young Professionals Group, and the Livewell Center tenants, the fair will feature the nonprofit businesses and services located within Kennebunk, Kennebunkport and Arundel - our "three towns, one community." Admission is free for everyone, and all local nonprofits serving the Kennebunks and Arundel are invited to participate. Designed for both new residents and those who may have lived here for years, the nonprofit fair is also about increasing awareness of the wide variety of
services and opportunities available to all ages in our community. The "experience" in the event name is key to our goal to engage the public in our community. All participants should bring an activity that represents their mission. Southern Maine Health Care, for example, will be offering blood pressure checks. Small give-aways and wrapped candy/snacks are also welcome. Participants are also asked to bring their own 6-foot table, tablecloth and everything else they need. Set-up time is 3
