  • Thank you to our sponsors. Without their support and resources this event would not be possible. Admission is kept free and exhibitor fees are kept low because of their in-kind contributions.

  • As attendees were greet they were asked to pin where they live on this map. (Thanks to Lakewood City Development Dept. for providing map). This demonstrates the impact the Old House Fair is having on nearly every neighborhood and street of Lakewood. We are connecting resources, support, services, and products to Lakewood residents to help them care for their homes. And it is likely those approximately 300 households (or 700 people) then later continue to pass on information to their friends and neighbors. Thank you to everyone who attended, exhibited, or contributed to putting this event on to help Lakewood's older housing stock.
