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.
