“An important part of staying healthy is to be screened for potentially dangerous conditions,” said Deborah Geghen, Fitness Manager for the Village of Orland Park. “This expo is a great time to have fun and also focus on your health.”
New in 2018, guests are encouraged to dress comfortably and join in on exhilarating group exercise classes. This year’s expo will also feature new vendors, along with skin cancer screenings done by Skin MD.

Children are also in for fun, as the expo features face painting, a Dino Jump inflatable, and an obstacle course. If children have bicycles, they are encouraged to bring them to have a safety check done by Performance Bicycle.
“This is a great opportunity to show children the benefits of staying healthy,” Geghen said. “A lot of health expos tend to be geared toward adults, but ours is for everyone. We believe if the family can support and help each other to stay healthy, it makes for an easier and more fulfilling life.”
