Carrollton's second annual Health & Safety Fair is all set to engage the community with a day of wellness activities and public safety demonstrations as the Standridge Stadium, located at 1330 Valwood Parkway, opens its doors to families on March 23 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. The free event will not only showcase city services but aims to foster connections with local healthcare and public safety resources – a critical interplay amid a landscape often fragmented where such synergies might seem elusive, the City of Carrollton, Texas announced.
Entertainment and education merge as kids can navigate an obstacle course by Ninja Nation Fitness Group LLC, while adults can learn life-saving skills with the Carrollton Fire Rescue's free CPR training; the classes focus on hands-only Adult CPR and AED use stressing the crucial role bystanders play in sustaining life until professional help arrives as public safety officials also conduct rope rescue and vehicle extrication demos, an essential showcase of prowess and preparedness within the heartbeat of our community. The fair, a collaborative effort between Carrollton's public safety departments and local entities including the Carrollton-Farmers Branch Independent School District, invites attendees to explore a range of informational booths provided by various health services.
From the American Heart Association to the hope-promising outreach of the Grant Halliburton Foundation, the tented aisles will feature over twenty organizations dedicated to improving health and welfare, as they share insights and avail opportunities for community members to familiarize themselves with crucial resources. Further accentuating the community spirit, the fair also offers low-cost lunch options for all participants while still inviting local companies to bolster the event through sponsorships, with names like the Carrollton Regional Medical Center already on board.
Those curious about public service have the additional prospect of engaging directly with public safety officials, as officers and department employees stand ready to interact, field questions, and even share potential employment avenues – a vital connection in times where dialogue between civil servants and the populace solidifies trust. Visitor parking is designated on the east side of the stadium, and the main event will roll out on the west, ensuring a logistical flow as seamless as the inherent intent of the fair, to bridge gaps, and to underscore the bedrock of community – health and safety.

The City of Carrollton beckons its residents to avail themselves of this opportunity to learn, enjoy, and perhaps, unbeknownst to them, to take part in the very tapestry where individual threads of effort weave together a robust and resilient public health and safety narrative.
