Nearly 60 vendors at the second annual Health and Wellness Fair offered extensive public health education and various free health screenings, Saturday, March 28, on the Colorado County courthouse lawn.
The Health and Behavioral Wellness Council of Greater Colorado Valley launched the fair last year with 35 vendors. Fair Chair Tracy Lilie said word of mouth has driven the fair’s expansion, bringing in vendors from Bastrop, Katy, Houston and other cities. She recalled receiving overwhelmingly positive feedback from last year’s fair with many vendors saying they would be willing to come back.
“I feel very blessed that we have the community that has gotten behind us to support us, and not only our local community, but the extended community,” Lilie said.
