Dementia Friendly Saline will host its 2nd Annual Best Life Spring Fair on Saturday, May 17th from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. at Liberty School in Saline. This free event celebrates people with dementia living their best lives, while providing fun and education to the whole community.
The event will feature educational presentations from dementia care experts who will share practical caregiving tips and strategies. Frequently asked questions like “How do I get help at home?” and “When should we start looking into residential care?” will be addressed. Free respite care will be available, ensuring everyone can fully participate in the day’s events.
Last year's Caregiver Discussion Panel was highly successful, prompting organizers to expand educational offerings while maintaining fun elements that create a welcoming atmosphere for all attendees.
Live music will fill the gymnasium, with performances by local favorites including Cat Canyon, Mary and the Huz-band, and more. A dedicated dance floor invites attendees to show o their best moves. Visitors can browse handcrafted items from local artists at the Art and Craft Sale.
“We encourage the whole community, regardless of your connection to dementia, to come support our Craft Sale and these wonderful artists. Even though this event is curated for people living with dementia, EVERYONE is welcome, because people with dementia are a part of, not apart from, our community,” said Chelsea, Director of Programming for Dementia Friendly Saline.
Event highlights include:
• Educational presentations for dementia caregivers
• Live music with a dance floor featuring local musicians
• Dementia-friendly art and craft sale
• Free on-site respite care
• Vendor/expo area with older-adult and dementia related organizations
The Best Life Spring Fair aims to create a supportive environment where families dealing with dementia can learn and connect, and where the whole community can have fun and learn how to be friendlier to our neighbors on the dementia journey.
Dementia Friendly Saline is a nonprofit organization dedicated to creating a more inclusive and supportive community for individuals living with dementia and their caregivers.

Cloudy , with a high of 74 and low of 43 degrees. Mist in the morning, sunny during the afternoon, overcast in the evening, fog overnight.
Half a million for the “Gathering place” and now the Davenport House? Where is the city coming up with all this money when we still have ongoing problems (WWTP, Rec center, dam etc.). Wonder how much the duct tape solutions have cost the taxpayers?
Lawn care , downed trees and maintenance might be expensive. I see the Great Outdoors company there often mowing. We will have to account for that

This is outstanding news for the Saline Community!
Best burger goes to Droptop pizza. No doubt about it . Dan’s is not what it used to be and the food is not award worthy. Need some new judges.
It's a voting thing, not a judging thing.
Dan's burger has never treated me wrong. And I like the DropTop burger too.I would never put down someone else's burger, though. I might say someone else has a better one.
Like, I like the Jet's Pizza. But to me, that's a DropTop prize.
These awards are voted by the PEOPLE...not a committee of judges. The people of Saline and Saline area voted for these businesses. I have never had a bad meal at Dan's Downtown Tavern and if something wasn't right I know that it would be corrected. Plus I have had Drop Tops pizza and I found it to be quite good.
