It may be that the Marion County Health Fair had no antidote for an outbreak of spring fever, considering the near-perfect weather on a weekend when most area schools were on spring break. Organizers said they had hoped more people would take advantage of the 30 or so health-related organizations that gathered at Hillsboro Elementary School Saturday to inform residents of their services.??The LifeTeam helicopter was on display during the fair, as well as a Marion County EMS ambulance and a fire truck from the Hillsboro Fire Department.
