Hey there, Nevada County! Mark your calendars because something awesome is coming up. The Second Annual Veteran’s Health & Wellness Fair is hitting town on July 23rd, and trust me, you don’t want to miss it. It’s all about giving our local veterans a chance to connect with the resources they need to stay healthy and happy. Think of it as a one-stop-shop for everything from healthcare to community support. Last year was great, but word on the street is that this year will be even bigger and better. I’m excited, are you?
Event Details
Date and Time
Alright, let’s get down to the specifics. Circle Saturday, July 23rd on your calendar. The fair kicks off in the morning and runs until mid-afternoon. So, you’ll have plenty of time to check everything out. I’d recommend getting there early to make the most of it.
Location
The fair will be held at a central spot in Nevada County. The exact location is still being finalized, but keep an eye out for updates – we’ll let you know as soon as we have the official word. You know, finding the perfect spot can be tricky, but I’m sure it’ll be easy to get to.
Who Should Attend?
Now, who’s invited? Well, this event is for every veteran, their families, and their caregivers living in Nevada County and nearby. It doesn’t matter if you served a long time ago or just recently – everyone’s welcome. It’s a fantastic opportunity to connect with other veterans, get valuable information, and just feel supported. I mean, who couldn’t use a little extra support, right?
What to Expect
Health Screenings
One of the coolest things about the fair is the free health screenings. You can get your blood pressure checked, cholesterol levels tested, and even get a glucose screening. It’s like a mini check-up, completely free of charge. Sometimes, it’s the simple things, isn’t it? I’m not a doctor but I always recommend knowing your numbers!
Wellness Services
Beyond the screenings, you can explore a bunch of wellness services. Think chiropractic care, maybe a little massage therapy to ease those knots, and of course, mental health resources. Taking care of your mental health is just as important as your physical health. I truly believe we need to talk about it more often.
Community Resources
You’ll also be able to connect with local organizations that offer support in all sorts of areas. Housing, employment, education – you name it, they’ve got you covered. It’s all about making sure our veterans have the resources they need to thrive in our community. I think that’s pretty awesome. Don’t you?
Workshops and Presentations
Want to learn something new? The fair will also have workshops and presentations on topics that matter to veterans. We’re talking PTSD management, understanding your VA benefits, and even tips for healthy eating. It’s a great way to expand your knowledge and maybe even pick up a new skill or two. I still remember the first workshop I ever attended. Changed my perspective completely.
How to Participate
Vendor Information
If you’re a vendor and want to be part of the fair, great news! You can find all the info you need, including how to sign up. Don’t miss out on this chance to connect with the veteran community and show your support. Honestly, I think that it’s a great chance to give back.

While pre-registration isn’t a must, it’s definitely encouraged. It helps the organizers get a headcount and plan accordingly. Plus, it’ll save you some time when you arrive. You can register online, but walk-ins are welcome too. I always prefer registering early to skip any potential lines!
