WELLSBORO – Rep. Clint Owlett (R-Tioga/Bradford) is joining forces with the Bradford/Sullivan/Susquehanna/Tioga Area Agency on Aging and PA Link to provide a scam prevention seminar geared to area seniors. 

The hour-long session, “Popular Scams and How to Avoid Them,” will be held on Thursday, April 4, from 10-11 a.m. at the Tioga County Fairgrounds, 2258 Charleston Road, Wellsboro.
