Healthy Kids and Green Parenting Fair March 20 | Health

Mark your calendars and tell your friends about the upcoming Healthy Kids and Green Parenting Fair, sponsored by the Tacoma-Pierce County Health Department.

The fair is a place to learn about protecting your child from toxins in the environment, and to find resources to help you make healthier, greener choices, like safer toys and personal care products, natural yard care, organic foods, cloth diapers, breastfeeding, and babywearing. We will have free lead testing of toys and other consumer products as well as free blood lead testing for children and pregnant or nursing moms.

There will be a baby wearing fashion show at 11 a.m. and drawings all day for fantastic door prizes including an organic ERGObaby Carrier, Sleepy Wrap, cloth diapers, Hotsling, BabyLegs, organic cotton baby clothes, and a nursing pillow/cover. Free eco-friendly art supplies for the first 50 kids attending.

This year's fair will be held on Saturday, March 20 in the auditorium at the South Park Community Center, 4851 South Tacoma Way. It will run from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Admission is free!
