What’s Happening at the Fair?

From 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., the doors will be open to showcase a whopping 40 different services aimed at health education and wellness support. Not only will you have access to vital information, but there will also be various vaccine clinics for your seasonal immunizations.

But that’s not all, folks! The health fair promises a fun atmosphere complete with giveaways for attendees, making it a great place to pick up some goodies.
