More than 40 organizations are scheduled to participate on Saturday, May 10 at a Children's Health & Safety Fair sponsored by State Representative Ruth Munson (R-Elgin). In its third year, the fair is designed to provide practical information and free health screenings to help protect our children.
 
"We have a full line-up of professionals who will offer information on how families can keep their children healthy and safe," Munson said.

Free screenings for scoliosis and blood pressure will be offered. In addition, information will be available on bicycle safety, backpack safety, healthy snack programs, poison control, West Nile Virus, and other health and safety related topics.
