AND HEALTHY KIDS FAIR
August 1st
— 5:00 to 7:00 p.m.
The Child Abuse Prevention
Council will be sponsoring the eighth annual “Safe and Healthy” Kids Fair. The
event will take place on Thursday, August 1, 2013 at the Roberts Memorial
Building in Keosauqua
from 5:00 p.m. until 7:00 p.m. and is open to all Van Buren County residents.
The fair theme this year will be
a Carnival with many fun games and activities for kids. As always the fair will focus on keeping
kids, ages 0-18 in the county safe and healthy.
Topics that will be covered include: child abuse prevention, nutrition,
mental health, dental, immunizations, lead poisoning, fire safety, literacy,
quality child care and preschools, parenting skills, and many more. Last year
35-40 exhibitors participated in the fair.
All school-aged children K-8 from
Van Buren Community Schools, Harmony
Community Schools
and home-schooled children will receive free school supplies. Handouts
promoting health and safety will be given to each child as well as other
community services. Prizes and backpacks will be earned by the children
participating in carnival activities at the various vendors’ booths. A raffle will also take place where prizes
will be given away being donated by the various vendors.
