Also, Easter Seals will provide children’s developmental screenings.
Additionally, families and young children can enjoy inflatable slides, a craft activity, jump rope and hula hoops, a bubble dance-a-thon, and many more fun fitness activities. The Yoga House RGV will offer a children’s yoga class, and Texas A&M AgriLife Extension will demonstrate cooking with spices and herbs to promote well-being.
“The Second Annual Health Fair is an opportunity for residents to receive free health screenings and interact with local health and wellness providers,” says Library Director Kate Horan. “Working with our community health partners, McAllen Public Library is raising awareness of the importance of health and wellness for all members of the family.”
