People age 50 or older are invited to three fun-filled days at Salamonie Lake’s Senior Fall Fest, Sept. 10-12.

The event is at Lost Bridge West State Recreation Area in western Huntington County. An assortment of activities, speakers and hands-on programming make this event a favorite for seniors.

Participants should call Upper Wabash Interpretive Services (UWIS) at (260) 468-2127 to register for meals and programs.

The theme is “Discover Your Roots.” Participants are encouraged to share genealogy and genealogy tips and family stories.

The monthly Senior Monday Luncheon will be Sept. 10 at 12:30 p.m. Craig Arnold, assistant director for the IPFW Archaeological Survey, will present a program on early Native American farming. The meat dish will be provided by UWIS. Seniors should bring a dish to pass, their own table service and $1 donation to help offset the cost of the meat dish.

A second carry-in meal will be Sept. 12 at 12:30 p.m. UWIS will provide the main dish. Participants should bring table service and a dish to pass that represents their family’s favorite “homeland” meal. For example, those with German heritage should bring a German dish.

The event will feature two bands. The Second Coming will perform Sept. 11, 7-9 p.m. God’s Country will perform on Sept. 12, 7-9 p.m. Participants are encouraged to bring their favorite instrument for evening entertainment and fun.

Other activities include fishing, horseshoes, cornhole and crafts.

A $3 program fee covers all sessions during Senior Fall Fest. The standard gate fee of $5 per in-state vehicle and $7 per out-of-state vehicle applies.
