Last year’s event was a hit, even with snow on the ground. Barry Lee Cohen, the CEO of the Amity Chamber, noted how the community rallied together, making it a memorable day filled with fun and fitness. The Expo features an impressive lineup of exhibitors focusing on various health and fitness topics. Attendees can expect free samples, information on fitness programs, health services, and even pet care options.
This year’s expo promises to be even better, with returning favorites and new sponsors. Expect demonstrations, health screenings, and plenty of healthy food options. The event is not just about fitness; it’s about community. It brings together local businesses, organizations, and residents for a day of connection and wellness.
Corporate sponsors like Xfinity and the Regional Water Authority help make this event possible. Their support allows the Chamber to provide free admission and exhibitor space for local businesses.
Exhibitors will cover a range of specialties, including:
- Eyecare
