Family friendly environment in the cafeteria area.

The Vernon Youth Services Bureau invites you to participate in our eleventh holistic health fair. The purpose of the fair is to educate area families about natural health alternatives, holistic modalities, and services available regionally. The fair will feature workshops, demonstrations, two exhibit halls and a café. It is a showcase for regional centers, practitioners, authors and artists. You are invited to participate as an exhibitor or vendor in this unique opportunity to reach area residents. Through our advertising, publicity and reputation we draw visitors from well beyond the area. Exhibits will focus on health and wellness, with vendors offering gifts, crafts, and artwork. For massage and energy work practitioners we’ll provide a quieter area for those that prefer it. Spiritually oriented area artists are also welcome. Approximately 1,600 people, including participants, attend the Healthfest on an annual basis. For more information see our list of Frequently Asked Questions.

Workshops & Demonstrations

There will be presentations and demonstrations throughout both days, of 50 minutes each, taking place in classrooms.

We welcome your proposal for workshops and demonstrations. The emphasis is on education and the focus is on children and families.

Presenters will be selected representing a range of modalities and topics; preference will be given to those not promoting products. Audio/visual aids are the responsibility of the speaker. There is no cost for exhibitors and a $25 fee for non exhibitors.
