Event Details
Date and Time
Mark your calendars! The Health & Wellness Fair will be held on August 17th, from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM. Plenty of time to swing by, get some info, and maybe even try a new activity.
Location
The fun happens at the Brunswick County Government Complex located at 75 Government Center Drive, Bolivia, NC 28422. You can’t miss it! Just follow the signs (and maybe your GPS, just in case).
Admission
Did I mention it’s free? Yep, absolutely no cost to get in. Which means more money for, well, healthier snacks!
What to Expect at the Fair
Health Screenings
They’re offering a bunch of free health screenings! Think blood pressure checks, glucose testing, and even vision screenings. It’s a great way to get a quick snapshot of your health. You know, just like taking your car in for an oil change – preventative maintenance!
Exhibits and Information Booths
Tons of local hospitals, healthcare providers, and even fitness centers will be there. Plus, you can chat with nutritional experts. I always find something new and interesting at these booths. You might even snag some free goodies!
Interactive Activities
Get ready to move! There will be fitness demonstrations to get your heart pumping, healthy cooking demos (because who doesn’t love food?), and even activities for the kiddos. It’s a family affair!
Educational Seminars and Workshops
Feeling stressed? Want to learn about heart health? They’ve got you covered with seminars and workshops focusing on all sorts of important topics, including heart health, diabetes prevention, and stress management. I’m always looking for new ways to chill out!
Benefits of Attending
Access to Free Health Screenings
Seriously, free health screenings are HUGE. Early detection is key to staying healthy, and this is an easy way to get a check-up without the co-pay. Plus, knowledge is power, right?
Learn About Local Health Resources
Finding the right healthcare provider can be a pain. This fair makes it easy to connect with local resources and find out what’s available in Brunswick County. It’s like a one-stop-shop for your health needs!
Discover New Ways to Improve Your Health
Maybe you’ll discover a new favorite workout, or finally figure out how to make kale taste good. (Still working on that one myself!). The fair is all about discovering ways to live a healthier, happier life.
Connect with the Community
It’s a chance to meet other people in the community who are also interested in health and wellness. Maybe you’ll find a workout buddy or a new friend to swap healthy recipes with. Who knows?
How to Prepare for the Fair
What to Wear
Comfort is key! Wear comfy clothes and shoes, especially if you plan on participating in any activities. You want to be able to move freely, not be stuck worrying about your outfit.
What to Bring
It’s a good idea to bring a list of any medications you’re taking, your insurance card (just in case), and a water bottle to stay hydrated. And maybe a notepad to jot down all the good tips you’ll get!
Pre-Registration (If Applicable)
Keep an eye out for updates on pre-registration. Some screenings or activities might require it, so it’s best to be prepared. You wouldn’t want to miss out on anything cool!
