Marion County Health Department puts on successful annual health fair

Hillsboro Community Hospital offered a Teddy Bear clinic, where kiddies become familiar with experiences that happen on a doctor visit, like vaccinations, and ear exams – The Baxa sisters loved applying many band-aids to this bear at Saturday’s Health Fair.

 

K-State’s exhibit was a blender attached to a bike – kids pedal and the blender whips up the ingredients. There were quite a few “smoothie mustaches” among the younger guests at the Health Fair on Saturday.
