The second annual Kids’ Karnival in the Town of Marion Park will take place on Saturday, June 11, 2011 from 10:00 am until 1:00 pm. This free health celebration includes information, giveaways, and games that focus on health and physical activities for children and families. There is a raffle with prize drawings for attending and learning about health resources and services in Wayne County. The Town of Marion Park is located at 4072 Park Drive, Marion, NY, directly behind the Highway Department, just off of State Route 21.

New this year is the featured Family Fun Walk. For the first 20 families who pre-register for the walk and complete the perimeter path around the Town of Marion Park (less than ¾ mile), Wayne County Rural Health Network will give each of those 20 families a $50 Wal-Mart gift card. Others who walk will get water bottles and other incentives. The purpose is to encourage exercise and to celebrate the fun families can have when they are physically active together.

Pre-registration for the Family Fun Walk is required and starts Wednesday, June 8, 2011 at 10:00 am. To register, please call (315) 483-3200. There is a limit of one registration per family and a family must include at least three people, one of whom is an adult.

Also featured is a free bounce house for children to enjoy, along with other games and activities. Parents and children can look forward to a day of fun, games and information --- all easily accessible at the Town of Marion Park.

The Wayne County Sheriff’s Office will be there with its child identification program. Wayne County Public Health will be giving away bike helmets and other items. Other health and family agencies also will be providing information and giveaways.

Among the participating agencies are Finger Lakes Community Health, Wayne County Public Health, Newark-Wayne Community Hospital, Fidelis Care, Wayne County Rural Health Network, Marion Girl Scouts, Wayne County Sheriff’s Office, and others.

This health fair is free with no cost to the families who participate. Sponsors include: Wayne County Rural Health Network, the Town of Marion, and Newark-Wayne Community Hospital. This event is made possible by a grant to the Wayne County Rural Health Network from the NYS Department of Health, Office of Rural Health. Founded in 1997, Wayne County Rural Health Network’ mission is to collaborate with other organizations in order to plan, initiate, and implement innovative solutions for emerging and unmet health and human services needs that one provider alone could not undertake.
