Learn how living a healthy and active life can be fun for the entire family when Galveston County Health District launches its newest initiative – Healthy Eating, Active Living (HEAL) – on Nov. 17 with a free family-friendly event 10 a.m.-1 p.m.

Join GCHD for Zumba, Mommy & Me exercises, face painting, massages, karate demonstrations and tours of Galveston County Health District EMS ambulances, as well as smoothie and food trucks. Get in some exercise and walk a one-mile path or play and walk with some of the Galveston County Animal Resource Center animals, which will be on hand.

HEB will also be on site with free samples and H-E-Buddy, as will Chick-fil-A with free samples and its cow mascot. Blood sugar, blood pressure and vision screenings will also be offered, plus much more including games for the entire family.

Plus, there will be giveaways for all ages.
