The Annual Safe and Healthy Kids Fair has been a tradition for over 30 years. Typically set on a Saturday in early May, this family friendly event is held at the Homer High School. This is a free event for children of all ages to focus on safety, health, wellness, and fun! It offers more than 25 booths and stations with hands-on activities and demonstrations. All attendees are invited to enter their names into a drawing for a brand new bike – multiple sizes for differing age ranges are available to win!
Kids can bring their bikes and helmets for a free bike inspection and enjoy the bike rodeo. Helmets are required, and are available for purchase on site at a discounted rate.
Other attractions include LIVE music from local talent, visits from Beary the Be Well Bear, the infamous teddy bear clinic, stilt walkers, BOB the bookmobile, giveaways, a fire truck and ambulance, free car seat checks, free lunch, resources from youth serving agencies, and more! Costumes are always encouraged!
The Safe and Healthy Kids Fair is organized by a committee representing local organizations whose missions include facilitating healthy outcomes and injury prevention for youth.
