The
Child Abuse Prevention Council will be sponsoring the fifteenth annual “Safe
and Healthy” Kids Fair. The event will take place on Tuesday, July 31, 2018 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 Emoji’s 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 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 back pack 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.
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.
