Events will vary by location, but could include things such as basketball games, dog washing stations, pet adoption, live bands, truck windshield washing stations and more. Sleep apnea specialists, fitness coaches and local celebrities may participate... Each fair will have two health care professionals on-site to conduct blood pressure screens and glucose tests...
