Vendors will have displays set up around the track. They include Rockingham Memorial Hospital, Family Life Resource Center, Harrisonburg Police Department, EMU’s Earthkeepers recycling program, EMU pre-professional health society and many others. <\/p>\n
Also on tap are free blood pressure screenings, relaxation and Yoga demonstrations, sleep\/nutrition stretching techniques, raffles and lots of food. The only activities with a fee are cholesterol and glucose screenings for $10. <\/p>\n
Upon arrival, persons will receive a “wellness passport” that can be stamped at every location visited. <\/p>\n
