The Child Abuse Prevention Council will be sponsoring the
fourteenth annual “Safe and Healthy” Kids Fair. The event will take place on Tuesday,
July 25, 2017 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 Superhero Kids 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 childcare 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 children home schooled in Van Buren County will receive a free school
supply voucher. Handouts promoting health and safety will be given to each
child as well as other community services.
A free book and backpack will be given to each student who attends the
fair (child MUST be present). A raffle
will also take place where prizes will be given away being donated by the various
vendors.
This event promotes the many resources
we have available to the children of Van Buren County. If you have any
questions or would like to volunteer please call 319-293-8727.
