Did you know, at last year's Hartford Fair 96 people used our sensory room? Can you help spread the word so even more people who need it can find us on the Fairgrounds next week?
Our sensory room offers a cool, quiet place to decompress from the hustle and bustle of the fair.
It will be open from 4 to 8 p.m. on Sunday Aug. 9, 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Aug. 10 to 14 as well as from 5 to 8 p.m. on Aug. 12.
Our building is located between the Commerce and Arts and Crafts buildings, near the Centerburg food stand. Spread the word!
