The Van Buren Conservation District is planning a Healthy Home Fair for next month in Hartford. The district’s Erin Fuller tells WSJM News he event will be a way to connect residents with Van Buren Conservation District programs in a relaxed way. They’ll offer on-site services.

“Well water testing, and we’ll be doing a lot of giveaways, a lot of demonstrations,” Fuller said. “We’ll be talking about septic systems and maintaining septic systems, and talking about household hazardous waste and recycling. Things like that.”

They’ll also give away gift cards and help people work on rain barrels. Fuller says you can bring along a sample of your well water to have it tested for nitrates. The Healthy Home Fair will be Wednesday, September 12 from 4 to 7 p.m. at Ely Park in Hartford. Everyone is welcome. This is the first event of its kind to be held by the Van Buren Conservation District.
