Health Fair~

I have filled in at the Health Dept for quite a few years now, and the last few years they have closed the office so I could also help out at the annual Health Fair they put on - this is their 25th year of organizing this event. I took some pictures for them of some of the different booths that participated. There was a good turnout - approximately 30-35 different booths, plus different doctors that each gave short 1/2 hour sessions of various topics. In one of the Health Dept booths, we kept busy handing out blood profile results to those that had their blood drawn in the previous 2 weeks. Getting those results are always a big highlight of the Health Fair! There was also an interpretation area for any readings of concern.
