Local seniors had a day all to themselves Friday.

Over 30 vendors were at the Prestige Lakeside Resort for the fourth annual Kootenay Seniors Fair. Free hearing and foot care checkups and tai chi demonstrations were among the many services offered at the event.

The day was organized by Kootenay Seniors, which is a Nelson CARES project.
