The 27th Annual McHenry County Children’s Health & Safety Fair will take place on Wednesday, July 26th from 9am to 4pm at McHenry County College in Crystal Lake. During this event children and their parents will have an opportunity to be educated in an innovative and entertaining way by representatives from more than 50 programs and organizations. This year’s fair also offers a convenient and affordable opportunity to obtain required immunizations, physicals, and dental exams for students through the age of 18. Children under 18 MUST be accompanied by a parent/guardian–if not, they must have a signed parent permission slip.
