MANCHESTER, NH — In celebration of National Health Center Week, Manchester Community Health Center will host a Family Fun Day and Health Fair on Monday, August 8 from 5 – 7 p.m. at 145 Hollis St. Billed as a “Prescription for Fun,” the event is free and will feature music, food, face painting, a fire truck, games, raffles, flash mobs, health information, and screenings. Raffle prizes include a hockey stick signed by the Boston Bruins and tickets for Fisher Cats games.
Parents and children are encouraged to ride their bikes to the event, and QC Bike Collective will be there to offer ABC bike checks (air, brakes, and chain). Free bike helmets and lights will be given away while they last. For those who don’t ride bikes, parking will be available.
Congressman Frank Guinta, Mayor Ted Gatsas, and Police Chief Nick Willard plan to attend, and firefighters from the Manchester Fire Department will be there with a fire truck and information on safety. A number of health and wellness providers will provide information on programs and services.
