While Plano is among the more affluent cities in North Texas, it has a growing population of families that are facing challenges - especially with the lingering pandemic. With a mission to strengthen Plano families in need, the free Fall Fair is returning Oct. 16 to the Plano Event Center.
The event offers free health and dental screenings, flu shots, a Job Fair/Career Corner, plus kids activities and entertainment.
Additionally, the first 200 children will recieve free school supplies.
"I've lived here for 50 years and just I've seen the generousity of this community for so long," says Plano Mayor John Muns. "The opportunity to be the mayor and see it first hand is a real pleasure."
Also on tap are CPR demos led by the Plano Fire Department, book giveaways, kids crafts, inflatables, superhero appearances by Wonder Woman and Spiderman, entertainment, and a "petting zoo" where children can learn and play with musical instruments provided by the Plano Symphony Orchestra.
The Plano Families First Fall Fair will be held Saturday, Oct. 16, from 8:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m. at the Plano Event Center.
