Carrollton to Host Health & Safety Fair with CPR Training and Family Fun at Standridge Stadium

Get ready to flex those muscles and brush up on life-saving skills this weekend, Carrollton. The Health & Safety Fair is set to take over Standridge Stadium at 1330 Valwood Parkway this Saturday, March 23, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Families can look forward to a day packed with activities, thanks to a free community event that promises everything from a Ninja Nation Fitness Group LLC obstacle course for kids to health screenings and delicious food for all ages.

One of the highlights, detailed by the City of Carrollton, Texas, will be the free CPR training sessions offered by Carrollton Fire Rescue. These important classes will teach hands-on Adult CPR and AED training, which, running throughout the fair, can be a game-changer in cardiac emergencies, as providing CPR immediately following sudden cardiac arrest can significantly boost survival chances.

Demonstrations are set to ramp up the excitement with technical rope rescue and vehicle extrication displays, courtesy of Carrollton Fire Rescue. Visitors will also have the chance to catch a glimpse behind the scenes of public safety with various city fleet vehicles pulled up for education. Public servants from different departments will engage with locals, ready to answer queries, whether about community safety or career opportunities in the force.

Joining hands with the City's public safety departments are the Carrollton-Farmers Branch Independent School District (CFBISD) and Metrocrest Hospital Authority, ensuring this annual affair strikes the perfect balance between entertainment and education. Guests can saunter from booth to booth, each hosted by different health service providers from Aetna Medicare to Woven Health Clinic, as they gather information catered to improve their well-being.

Those looking to grab a bite won't be disappointed, with low-cost lunch options promised to keep bellies full and spirits high. Meanwhile, businesses have the chance to snag a spot in the limelight, with the city still offering up sponsorship opportunities for corporations wanting a piece of the action.

All the fun and learning takes place on the west side of the stadium. But don't worry about parking hassles; there's plenty of space on the east side for all those cars.
