Over 1,200
children and adults visited the fair last year, providing families with not
only fun activities but also important immunizations and physicals before the
start of the new school year. Guest appearances confirmed include Ronald
McDonald, the Blue Power Panther and other animal characters. The fair
will also offer over 40 interactive educational exhibits including door prizes.
Children are issued a card which will be stamped at each exhibitor’s
booth. A completed, stamped card can be turned in for a free school
supply box and enters children into a raffle for one of two new bikes and
helmets.
Schedule
your child’s appointment now for school physicals (for qualifying children) at
Family Health Partnership Clinic (779-220-9300). Reduced-cost immunizations are
offered on a first-come, first-served basis. Parents must bring their child’s
updated shot record. Call McHenry County Department of Health (MCDH) at
815-334-4500 for immunization information. All services have a nominal
fee.
