The Susquehanna Recovery Alliance and the Rising Together Susquehanna County Re-Entry Coalition will host the 5th Annual Susquehanna County Recovery Fair on Saturday, Sept. 19, from 11:00am to 2:00pm at Montrose Green to highlight the miracle of recovery from substance use disorder, provide information on recovery resources, and show the community that recovery is not only possible, but also achievable. The event, which is being held in observance of National Recovery Month, is free and open to the public.
“We look forward to a great day celebrating the miracle of recovery and helping others find the support and services they need,” said Susquehanna County Commissioner Bob McNamara, Chair of the Recovery Alliance. “We invite everyone in the community to come join us for a day of hope, fun and friendship.”
The event will feature free food and t-shirts, live music by The Merchants of Groove, and speakers who will share their inspiring stories of hope and recovery. There will be fun activities for adults and children alike, including a bounce house, a pony petting corral, face painting and corn hole games. More than two dozen exhibitors from treatment facilities, social service agencies and other organizations will provide information about how to access services and reduce harm. Free doses of the lifesaving overdose-reversal drug Narcan and information on how to use it will also be available.
“If you’re a person in recovery or a family member, come celebrate with us. If you’re struggling or know someone who is, come and learn about all the resources available in Susquehanna County for treatment, recovery support and re-entry,” said Virginia Smith, Executive Director of Rising Together. “Whatever you need, there is help available in our community.”
The Susquehanna County Recovery Alliance is working to reduce the number of overdose deaths, provide information about pathways to recovery, reduce harm due to substance use disorder, and educate the public about the disease of addiction. Rising Together connects justice-involved people with resources, support, and opportunities for a successful return to the community. Both are multidisciplinary volunteer organizations composed of elected officials, treatment providers, medical professionals, law enforcement officials, emergency responders, members of the recovery community and others.

All are welcome to help or just to visit and support our efforts. For more information contact Ellen Foster at 570-679-2982.
