Each year in September, the DuPage Convalescent Center come alive in a joyful celebration of autumn.  The Fall Festival is the signature fundraising event—a family day—hosted by the DuPage Convalescent Center and the DuPage Convalescent Center Foundation.  This year’s 45th Annual Fall Festival will be held on Saturday, September 15, 2012 from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.   

The family-friendly festival includes a resident craft sale,
kid’s games and contests, craft and flea market vendors, a huge garage sale, a car show, book fair, mums, taffy  apples and scarecrows for sale, live entertainment, a raffle and silent auction, and a petting zoo.  The crisp Fall air will carry tantalizing whiffs of baked goods, sweet treats and other delicious lunch and snack offerings. 

Major sponsors for this event include BlueCross BlueShield
of Illinois, Stratford Dental, Suburban Bank & Trust, Cadence Health and Tyndale House Publishers, Inc. Additional sponsorship opportunities are
available for as low as $100.
