The Coal City Community Unit School District is preparing for its annual Family Wellness Night, set to take place on Wednesday, February 19. This event, which has become a highlight of the year for the community, will feature more than 80 vendors.
“It is such a great event for our community, there is truly something for everyone to participate in or a service to learn about,” stated Unit 1 Superintendent Chris Spencer.
Organized by the district’s Wellness Committee, the event offers various wellness activities and vendor booths focused on physical, emotional, mental, and financial health. The committee emphasizes that wellness encompasses more than just diet and exercise.
The food court will return this year with samples from local eateries such as The Cove, Nelly’s, Subway, Morris Hospital, and Coal City School Food Services. Attendees can also expect demonstrations and opportunities for children along with giveaways and prizes.
Family Wellness Night will be hosted at Coal City High School. Entry is free of charge with all activities provided at no cost. Doors open at 6 p.m. and close at 8 p.m.
A diverse range of vendors will participate in the event including A.J. Gallagher & Co., Ameriprise Financial Services Inc., Associated Orthodontists, Athletico, ATI Physical Therapy among others listed in the announcement.
