The City will host a Community Health Fair on Friday, July 13 during the Mission Viejo Farmers Market.
The fair will feature a cornucopia of things to encourage a healthy and fit lifestyle. For example, folks can see a preview showing of “The Weight of a Nation,” a new HBO film on the obesity epidemic. They can receive shingles and whooping cough immunizations and blood pressure, glucose and electronic body fat testing. There will be crafts for kids; fitness and cooking demonstrations; massage therapy; and a photo booth. Doctors from Mission Hospital will be on hand to answer health-related questions.
The Community Health Fair will complement the Mission Viejo Farmers Market, which offers an abundance of healthy produce and fare to the community each Friday.
The fair will take place from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. in the Civic Center Kershaw Gardens at 200 Civic Center.
For more information, call 859-4348 x5723.
