Those attending can visit the health-center tent to be screened and interviewed about their personal and family needs.

Besides the entertainment and health-care screening, the event will also include food from Johnny Gee’s BBQ and crafts vendors as well.

“Public health challenges always hit urban neighborhoods the fastest and the hardest, especially in today’s fast-changing environment,” as noted in the event’s news release.

Those attending are “encouraged to bring a reluctant family member, friend, or neighbor” for counseling or screening.
