All services will be free at an upcoming Community Health Fair, 4-7 p.m. Oct. 3 at the Fulton County 4-H Fairgrounds.

The Community Building at the Fulton County 4-H Fairgrounds, 1009 W. Third St., will serve as the site of a Community Health Fair on Oct. 3.

The fair, sponsored by the Indiana Immunization Coalition, features health screenings, information on community resources, vaccines, giveaways and more. It runs from 4-7 p.m., and all services are free.

The first 50 people will receive a free hygiene kit, a winter item and a $10 gas card.

Fulton County Public Health Nurse Denise Ostafin earlier reported that attendance increased from 30 people at a health fair in 2023 to nearly 100 at one held earlier this year in May.
