(KAIR)--An annual tradition continues Saturday, as the Atchison Hospital hosts the Best Care Health Fair.

Free and open to the public, the family friendly event will take place at the Atchison Elementary School, beginning at 8:00 Saturday morning and ending at noon.

TC Roberts, Marketing Manager for the hospital, told MSC News, “This is the tenth year that we've done the Health Fair at the Atchison Elementary School, and the school has just been wonderful to work with.”

Jennifer Brockhoff, Business Health Services Manager for the hospital, says a variety of screenings will be available as part of the numerous activities planned for the day, as well as a new addition illustrating the dangers of texting and driving. “State Farm has gotten a simulator, a texting and driving simulator, so you can go to their booth and see how good you really are when you're texting and going across the center line, or in the ditch, while you're driving.”

The Best Care Health Fair will also include numerous other family friendly health-focused activities, such as a bicycle rodeo, along with special guests and presentations, including the Atchison County Sheriff's Office's fuzzy goggles, an ambulance and medical helicopter, and KC Wolf and Slugger.
