Thank you for everyone who attended this year’s Spring Health Fair and Farmers Market to make it our most successful year yet! We had over 130 attendees (a 30% increase) and 91 biometric screenings (a 10% increase). Due to the generous support of our vendors, local merchants, and our board of directors, we were able to give away over $3,500 in prizes & giveaways. Plus, everyone who participated left with a free tote from The Arc WC and a free lunch cooler bag plus many other giveaways.
