Free McHenry County Kids Health Fair is Wednesday at MCC

Children's Health & Safety Fair offers discount immunizations and dental exams and lots of freebies.

The annual McHenry County Children’s Health & Safety Fair will be held from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Wednesday, Aug. 3, at McHenry County College, 8900 US Hwy 14, in Crystal Lake.  Admission to the fair is free.

Now in its 21st year, it is bigger and better than ever. 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 one of two free bicycles and helmets.
