RESIDENTS of Oak Tree Retirement Village were joined by more than 30 stall- holders for a senior fair yesterday.

Village manager Mary O'Neill was pleased with the number of stall-holders who took the opportunity to be a part of the open day.

"We have around 30 stall holders here and a really diverse range of representatives from businesses and local groups like the Warwick Spinners and Weavers and Enchanted Gardens," she said.

"It's essential that we can provide an opportunity for these groups and our residents to come together and for them to know what is out there."

Dawn Cashman and Daphne Cross became the first two residents at Oak Tree more than five years ago and said they love the community aspect of living in the retirement village.

"We're all like one big happy family," Dawn Cashman said.

"It's great to see so many people here. It's an excellent place to live - very country orientated."

Some of the stalls included members of the Warwick Shire Woodcutters, Warwick Potters Association, and the Cancer Council Queensland Warwick branch.

Money raised on the day will be donated to the Alzheimer's Queensland Multi Service Centre in Toowoomba.

Community Services manager Theresa Buys said she was pleased by the support from the Oak Tree villages.

"The Southern Downs has a huge number of people who suffer from Alzheimer's," Mrs Buys said.

"It is just like any other disease and it is important to provide information on how to manage living with Alzheimer's or dealing with someone who is."
