Eagan's July 4th Funfest Health and Wellness Event
July 2, 8:00 am to 1:00 PM
Eagan Central Park Pavilion

What better way to kick off the July 4th weekend than with a health and wellness event! Do you want to eat those mini donuts? Have a beverage in the beer tent? Do you have a Chicago Dog on your mind? Here is your chance to burn some calories to make room for what you know is going to happen the rest of the weekend. . .

You'll find great activities for the whole family -- with an emphasis on ACTIVE!
• Participate in a four hour marathon exercise class -- a new instructor every half hour!
• Hear success stories from people that have made healthy choices to improve their lives!
• Bring the kids -- the kid zone will offer fun activities and demonstrations throughout the event!
• Visit with a variety of health and wellness exhibitors!
• Try out the Xbox 360 with Kinect for a fun way to be active!
• Win one of the fabulous door prizes!

There is no charge to attend this event and free parking is available in the Lockheed Martin parking lot off of Pilot Knob Road and Central Parkway.

Note: All attendees participating in exercise classes and kid zone activities will be required to sign a participation waiver at registration. We suggest you wear comfortable clothing and tennis shoes, and bring a bottle of water and towel.
