Healthy Kids and Green Parenting Fair
Mark your calendars and tell your friends about the upcoming Healthy Kids and Green Parenting Fair, sponsored by the Tacoma-Pierce County Health Department. This year's fair will be held on Saturday, March 20th, 2010. It will be in the auditorium at the South Park Community Center (4851 South Tacoma Way) and will be open to the public from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Admission is free.
The fair is a place to learn about protecting your child from toxins in the environment, and to find resources to help you make healthier, greener choices, like safer toys and personal care products, natural yard care, organic foods, cloth diapers, breastfeeding, and babywearing. We will have free lead testing of toys and other consumer products as well as free blood lead testing for children and pregnant or nursing moms. There will be a babywearing fashion show at 11 a.m. and drawings all day for really fantastic door prizes including an organic ERGObaby Carrier, Sleepy Wrap, cloth diapers, Hotsling, BabyLegs, organic cotton baby clothes, and a nursing pillow/cover. Free eco-friendly art supplies for the first 50 kids attending!
Contact Chris Matter-Rinehart for more information at 253-798-6492 or cmatter@tpchd.org. See you there!

Wonderful idea
This is very important information, knowing what is safe and what is not is very beneficial. The free lead testing is a fantastic gift and very useful. Will there be more of these events in the future. barbecue grills
Great Job!
Now this is the right way to educate both kids and parents. Interactive activities like these not only allows organizers to effectively relay what they want the audience to know, these types of campaign approaches also give its participants a memorable experience. artificial grass
