SAFE AND HEALTHY KIDS FAIR July 30th — 5:00 to 7:00 pm

The Van Buren County Child Abuse Prevention Council will be sponsoring the sixteenth annual Safe and Healthy Kids Fair. The event will take place on Tuesday, July 30, 2019 at the Roberts Memorial Building in Keosauqua from 5:00-7:00 p.m. and is open to all Van Buren County residents.
                                                
The fair theme this year will be “Building Your Future” 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 20-25 exhibitors participated in the fair.

All school-aged children attending Van Buren County Community School District and children homeschooled in Van Buren County will receive a free school supply voucher if they attend the fair (child MUST be present). 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. 

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 Amanda Payne at 319-293-8701.
