The second annual health fair held by Gainesville Spanish Church included events for everyone to enjoy—from health education for adults to fun activities for children.

Institutions and professionals that participated in the day included: the Blood Bank, United Way, Hunter’s Chiropractic, Healthy Start of North Central Florida, and a Medical Clinic from the University of Florida.

Booths representing Spanish countries in the Caribbean, Inter-America, and South America offered healthy samples of their food specialties. Clowns were on hand to entertain the children, as well as face painting and an inflatable jumping house.
