Children’s Free Health Fair in Muncie April 20

The Muncie Children’s Museum will sponsor a free Children’s Health Fair (Good to Go, From Head to Toe) Saturday, April 20 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

This year, the main goal of the Health Fair is to make parents and children aware of all of the different factors that go into truly being healthy. Agencies at the event will focus on six components of kids’ health: checkups, play, safety, learning, friends and helping hands.

 When children arrive at the Health Fair, they will be given a game piece to guide them to all of the participating agencies. Once children have visited all of the booths, children can turn in their completed game piece to be entered in a drawing for door prizes, including one boy’s and one girl’s bicycle, Indianapolis Indian’s baseball tickets, a Muncie Children’s Museum family membership, gift baskets and more.

The YMCA will be on hand to give away passes for free admission to the YMCA pool and snail slide that families can use that day from noon to 2 p.m.

Parents will also be able to get car seats checked to make sure they have been fastened correctly. This will occur from noon to 2 p.m. in front of the Muncie Children’s Museum.
