Healthy Kids Day® is a free "summer kick-off" event consisting of music, fun filled games, healthy snacks, crafts, temporary tattoos, interactive demonstrations & performances from local groups, VT therapy Dogs, VT Police, Montgomery-Floyd Regional Library Book Mobile, educational & enrichment activities for families and a healthy focus on family life!

The event will also be promoting local summer programs and activities for children, encouraging them to remain active throughout the summer months. Our theme for the event will be Nostalgia-evoking "feel good" memories of past healthy activities and encouraging excitement about the future.
