CARBONDALE, Ill. — Already broken that New Year's resolution to exercise or lose a few pounds? Not to worry. You can learn how to get fit and live healthier at the seventh annual Health and Nutrition Fair on Thursday, March 27, from 4 to 6 p.m. in the lower level of Grinnell Hall at Southern Illinois University Carbondale.
This year's fair will have a Las Vegas casino theme, "Cash in Your Chips: Take a Gamble on Good Nutrition," and will host more than 20 exhibits from SIUC and the Carbondale community providing practical health and nutrition information and free gifts.
