The Martin County Health Department invites everyone to visit the Health & Wellness Pavilion during the Harvest Festival on Friday, Sept. 18, from 12 p.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturday, Sept. 19, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

The pavilion will be located at 42 East Main Street in Inez, beside the new courthouse.

A variety of community organizations and health vendors will be set up throughout the pavilion with helpful information, valuable resources, and activities for all ages. Visitors can also receive free health screenings, including A1C and cholesterol checks, and learn more about programs and services available in our community.

There will be plenty of opportunities to have fun while getting active. Take a turn creating a healthy drink on our smoothie bike or test your skills in our hula hoop and jump rope competitions. We will also have games, prizes and other activities for the entire family to enjoy.

Make plans to stop by, visit our vendors, learn more about your health, and enjoy two fun-filled days with us.

You do not want to miss this year’s Health & Wellness Pavilion.

We look forward to seeing everyone there.
