Network Health sponsored a free health fair, "Make Healthy Fun", at the Fonseca Elementary School on April 28, 2011. The event featured face painting, balloon sculpture and informational tables provided by Kool Smiles, Southcoast Hospitals, the WIC Program, Saint Anne's Hospital, Stanley Street Treatment and Resources, and Healthy City Fall River. Recipes and cooking tips were given out in a cooking demo. Parents and children were  invited to participate in Zumbatomic, a fitness program for kids, mixing Zumba moves (salsa, cumbia, reggaeton, hip-hop, and more) and energetic workouts, designed to let kids ages 4-12 have fun and get fit at the same time. Free raffles were offered and prizes including gift cards, groceries, and a brand new new bicycle were given away. Click here to see the  video of the event.
