Residents of St. Joseph’s Home, 15 Audubon Plaza Drive, run by the Little Sisters of the Poor, participated in a week of state-fair-style activities July 21-24. The residents played carnival games, ate fair food, met farm animals and competed in contests, among other activities. The residential home has hosted the tradition for at least 13 years, said Tina Contreras, development director.
