[April 04, 2008]  The Lincoln Park District was a beehive of activity Friday as fifth-graders from around the county rolled in on buses to attend the 22nd annual Children's Health Fair. Students moved from station to station and learned important facts about the body, health, fitness and nutrition, as well as useful drugs that would help keep them healthy now and in the future. They saw a demonstration on safety -- things like how falling into a grain silo could lead to suffocation.

More than 25 agencies provided literature and demonstrations for this year's fair, co-sponsored by the park district and the Logan County Health Department.

Many of the same agencies will be back and some others for Saturday's Community Health Fair, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. (See article.)

Special on Saturday: The Iowa Phantoms take on Abe's Babes in Granny Basketball at 11 a.m.
