Opportunities for health related screenings, low-cost/no-cost insurance and lead testing will be available throughout the day. Courtoies adds "we are grateful to the continued support of our community partners who have continued to partner with us each year to host the event. Through the support of Valley Rural Housing Corp. Inc, we are able to provide free lead screenings to children and CDPHP has once again provided signifigant support to assist us in providing families and children with a safe, healthy and fun-filled event." In addition to the agencies participating in the event the staff of Target Distribution center will be on hand to assist in hosting a Diaper Derby for non-walking children under 18 months and a hula hoop contest for those children ages 4-10, Doodles the Clown will be providing caricatures throughout the day and the Fidelisaurus will make appearances throughout the day.
