A variety of vendors, including those featured in She Magazine will be showcasing their unique specialty items. Highlights include our annual fall fashion show, yoga and Zumba fitness demonstrations, chair massages, a demonstration on decorating holiday items, and much more.

McLeod Health will offer free and discounted health screenings including blood glucose, blood pressure, cholesterol, lymphedema, and skin cancer screenings. Look for the interactive service provided by McLeod Physical Therapy: "Avoiding wardrobe malfunctions – proper purse, shoes, and posture."

Health information offered includes topics such as cancer, maternity care, orthopedic care, psychology and mental health, hemodialysis, and diabetes, among others.
