Garnerville, NY – Job seekers and career changers will have a unique opportunity to shift their futures into high gear at the upcoming “Racing Toward Success: A High-Powered Career Fair” on Thursday, May 30, from 1:00 PM to 5:00 PM at the Haverstraw King’s Daughters Public Library, located at 10 West Ramapo Road.

This free, public event aims to connect community members with hiring employers and career training providers in a dynamic and engaging environment. In addition to job opportunities, attendees will have a chance to get up close to a piece of motorsports history—Joey Logano’s Championship NASCAR will be on display for fans and families to enjoy.

The career fair will take place outdoors in the library’s parking lot, offering an open and accessible venue for visitors. In the event of inclement weather, the fair will move indoors to the library facility to ensure all scheduled activities continue as planned.

Organizers say the event is designed to be both exciting and impactful, providing direct access to local businesses that are actively recruiting, as well as organizations that offer skills training and educational resources.

“Whether you’re looking for a new job, a fresh start, or a chance to train for a new career, this is a great place to start,” said a spokesperson for the event. “And getting to see Joey Logano’s car is just the cherry on top.”

No registration is required, and all are welcome to attend.
