The annual McHenry County Children’s Health & Safety Fair is almost here! Now in its 21th year, it is bigger and better than ever! The fair will be held from 9am-4 pm on Wednesday, August 3, at McHenry County College, 8900 US Hwy 14, in Crystal Lake. Admission to the fair is FREE.
This year’s theme is “Makin’ a Splash!” With over 40 exhibits, games and prizes and the fire department’s ‘smoke house’, the fair delivers on its promise to entertain and educate. Children will receive a free school supply box when they turn in their stamped cards after visiting exhibitor’s booths and be entered into a raffle to win 1 of two free bicycles and helmets.
Reduced cost immunizations and dental exams will be provided for school age children on a first come-first served basis. Medicaid will be accepted. Parents MUST bring their child’s updated immunization record in order to receive required immunizations. Appointments are still available for reduced cost school physicals for children of uninsured or underinsured families. Make your appointment now by calling the Family Health Partnership Clinic (815-334-8987).
The fair is sponsored by the McHenry County Children’s Health & Safety Fair Coalition whose coalition members include Community Action Agency/Head Start, Centegra Health System, CL Graphics, Family Health Partnership Clinic, Family Service & Community Mental Health Center, League of Women Voters of Illinois Education Fund, McHenry County College, McHenry County Department of Health, McHenry County Mental Health Board, United Way of Greater McHenry County Volunteer Center and Youth Service Bureau.
