The Child Abuse
Prevention Council will be sponsoring the ninth annual “Safe and Healthy” Kids
Fair. The event will take place on Tuesday, July 28, 2015 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 Frozen in July 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 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. A free book and back pack will
be given to each student who attends the fair. A raffle will also take place where prizes
will be given away being donated by the various vendors.
