First 5 California's Hands-on Health Van at the Calaveras County Fair and Jumping Frog Jubilee May 14, 2008

FIRST 5 CALIFORNIA’S HANDS-ON HEALTH VAN OFFERS HEALTH TIPS, GAMES AND GIVEAWAYS

In California, almost two-thirds of children have dental decay by the time they reach third grade. That’s why First 5 California’s Hands-on Health tour is educating Calaveras County families about healthy dental care.

During the van’s stop at the Calaveras County Fair and Jumping Frog Jubilee, kids will receive free Dr. Fresh FireFly toothbrushes and play educational games, while parents learn how to care for their children’s overall health.

Perfect for children age 5 and under and their families, this free touring exhibit, in conjunction with First 5 Calaveras, makes it fun for families to learn about health through storytelling, music and entertainment.
