Hancock Saves will be hosting its 2nd Annual Wealth Fair with a theme of Money Madness on Saturday March 15 from 10 am – 3 pm.  The all day financial education event will be held at Owens Community College in the Community Education and Wellness Center.  The event is free and open to the public.  Lunch items will be available for purchase. 

The Hancock Saves Wealth Fair – Money Madness will offer individuals and families financial information that is useful for practicing basic financial strategies, rebounding from setbacks, and winning the financial game. Scott Berndt of OHM Disaster will present Keeping Your Records Safe Before Disaster Strikes from 11:30 to 12:30 with other topics related to rebounding from disaster offered throughout the day. The day will also include workshops and displays covering topics such as managing your healthcare bills, preventing ID theft for adults and children, college savings, smart tax planning, assisting parents with long term care, and retirement planning. 

A "Credit Lab" staffed with financial consultants will run all day from 10-3.  The lab will be open for individuals to obtain credit reports and work one-on-one to review individual reports as well as obtain information about what to look for in your report and how to boost your credit score.

A children’s activity area will include a money scavenger hunt, piggy bank decorating, money games and children’s prizes. Free coin counting and document shredding, door prizes, and Hancock Saver registrations will be ongoing throughout the day. Hancock Savers can register to win a $500 debt payment, grocery gift cards, gas cards, and other great prizes.
