A community and family-friendly event promoting understanding and education about mental and emotional health and the connection to overall well-being. This is the event you don't want to miss! Family Guidance Center invites all to come learn about the mind-body connection and take part in our wellness activities that are designed to engage the mind and get your body moving. Featuring a 5k timed run and family-friendly walk, and so much more! Not a runner? Join the walk! Unable to walk? Attend the vendor fair and enjoy a free relaxing chair massage. Better yet, reduce your stress and flex your body while attending a free yoga session. That's not all! Carnival games, face painting, balloon animals, and the fabulous Wacky Patti (previously Pipper the Clown) are sure to be a hit with the kids, also free! Food and raffle basket tickets will be available for purchase. We look forward to seeing everyone there!
