Dozens of Fall River area
healthcare providers had a chance to demonstrate their services at the
second annual WSAR Health Fair held on Sunday, March 5, 2006, at White's
of Westport. Several hundred people attended the three-hour event which
offered the opportunity to get free tests and the chance to try out many
of the services offered by the many local vendors. In addition, dozens
of prizes were raffled off by WSAR Radio
staff. The entire event was broadcast live by the radio station staff
who used the event as an opportunity to do live interviews with many
representatives of the participating organizations. |
