A press release from the Department of Health & Human Services Public Health Branch: Hello Del Norte County Community Members, The Del Norte County Public Health Branch is excited to announce our 29th annual Health Fair! This year’s theme is “29 & Time to Shine!” Together, we can transform lives, foster hope, and create a healthier future for our community. The Health Fair is more than just an event—it’s a movement. It’s about bringing people together to share resources, connect with one another, and inspire change. Families show up for the free resources and giveaways, but they leave with so much more: knowledge, connections, and a renewed sense of community. Let’s make this year the most impactful yet by coming together and providing the tools and services that truly make a difference. This year, we are introducing the Puzzle Piece Project, a unique opportunity to showcase the incredible community-based programs that help Del Norte County thrive. We invite you to partner with us at Public Health to record short videos that highlight how your program or service contributes to the health and well-being of our community. These videos will symbolize how all of us—like puzzle pieces—fit together to build a stronger, more united Del Norte County. If you are interested in being part of the Puzzle Piece Project, please reach out to Anna Porter. Join us at Beachfront Park off Front Street in Crescent City from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. on Saturday, July 26, 2025. This is a non-smoking event, and we promise it will be filled with opportunities to empower and uplift everyone who attends. Set up for booths will begin at 10:00 a.m., and all exhibits must be taken down by 3:00 p.m. Each vendor will have an allocated space, and a map will be distributed prior to the event. If you require access to an electrical outlet, please indicate this when filling out the application. For any other arrangements regarding setup or cleanup, reach out to Anna Porter by email or phone. Enclosed, you’ll find the necessary forms to reserve your spot at the Health Fair. To secure your place, please return them to Anna Porter at Public Health by June 30, 2025. Anna can be reached at 707-464-0861 ext. 2858 or via email at anna.porter@co.del-norte.ca.us. We know families in our community count on this event to access vital resources, so your participation is critical. Whether it’s free health screenings, educational materials, or giveaways, what you bring to the table can change lives. Additionally, we encourage you to take part in the Puzzle Piece Project to share the work you’re doing to serve our community—it’s a great way to inspire others and strengthen our collective efforts. Let’s change lives and strengthen our community—one connection at a time. Public Health is proud to partner with you to make this event an unforgettable success. We can’t wait to see the impact we’ll create together! Thank you and we’ll see you on July 26!
