BIG ISLAND: Diabetes and Wellness Fun Fair  Bottom

  • BIG ISLAND WEEKLY
    Education disguised as entertainment is a creative approach to getting dialogue started about the seventh leading cause of death in the U.S. -- diabetes.

    Bay Clinic is teaming up with the "Warriors Against Diabetes" to provide Hilo with a fun, entertaining and informative day filled with health screenings, giveaways, live entertainment, and a special appearance by comedian Frank DeLima. The Diabetes and Wellness Fun Fair will be held at the Prince Kuhio Plaza on Saturday, Aug. 7 from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m...

    ...Among the fun activities planned are exercise demonstrations including Tai Chi, Muay Thai, Zumba and food demonstrations. Of course, free health checks including fingerstick blood sugars, blood pressure, and weight evaluations will be offered. Haumea says, "We will have entertainment including hula, Tahitian dance, native American flute, Marshallese, and Chuukese. Music is an important form of health and healing and these entertainers can provide resources on how anyone can get involved with their music arts. There is also a recipe contest that happens and this year's focus is on healthy pastries."
