Point Roberts health fair set for May

On May Day the Point Roberts Community Foundation will present its first Healthy Living Fair, intended to be an annual celebration of the Point as a healthy place to live.

“We would like to promote healthy living in Point Roberts and make Point Roberts a destination for people drawn to a healthy lifestyle,” organizer Karen Stanwood told members of the Point Roberts parks board at their February 5 meeting. “The Healthy Living Fair is designed to showcase the community, people and businesses of Point Roberts that embody and foster healthier lifestyles in today’s fast-paced world,” she added.

The fair will showcase a variety of health care practices and products, environmental concerns and recreational choices, Stanwood said. Visitors can learn from and enjoy health practitioners, keynote speakers, delicious wholesome food, product exhibitors, Feng Shui experts, gardening advice, massage therapists, live blood cell analysis, demonstrations, May pole dance, laughter therapy, nutritional advice, expert coaching, safety tips, children’s activities and silent auction.

Stanwood said that they are still accepting applications from potential exhibitors and are looking for volunteers to help with kids activities and other fair features. “This sounds like a really good community minded event,” parks board member Linda Hughes congratulated Stanwood and fellow organizer Judith Mann.

The Healthy Living Fair will be held May 1, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Point Roberts Community Center. The fair is free and open to the public. For more information, please contact Judith Mann at 360/945-3146.
