Registration now open for exhibitors at the 2016 Wellness Expo

[November 19, 2015]  LINCOLN - The Logan County Department of Public Health and the Logan County Park District are now taking reservations for booths at the 2016 Wellness Expo, to be held February 19th and 20th at the Park District.

The Fifth Grade Wellness Expo, attended by all fifth graders in Logan County (approximately 400 children) will be held Friday, February 19, 2016 at the Indoor Sports Complex, from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.

The 5th Grade Wellness Expo requires exhibitors to give eight minute presentations to groups of three to five students. Students will rotate every eight minutes. In order to allow exhibitors time to present information, it is important that all exhibitors keep the students busy for eight minutes. Exhibitors will give presentations to approximately 100 students, and an additional 300 students may browse through the booths.

The Community Wellness Expo will be held Saturday, February 20, 2016 from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. at the Lincoln Park District Sports Complex. Booths will be open to the community for browsing. Last year approximately 1500 people attended. The theme this year is “What does Wellness Mean to You?” One eight-foot table and two chairs will be provided, unless specified otherwise on registration forms. The use of table clothes or covers is recommended. To protect the Park District facility, no food or drinks except water will be allowed in the exhibit area. Please do not give away food, drinks or candy.

There will be a $15 charge for a booth for one day and $20 charge for both days. The charge will help to cover costs incurred by the sponsoring agencies. Not for profit agencies are not required to pay this fee.

To be involved, please complete the reservation form (Pdf below) and return it with booth payment, to the Logan County Department of Public by February 2, 2016. After the deadline, additional registrations may be accepted if space allows.
