Fun for the Whole Family
Healthy Snack Demonstrations
All kids love snacks! Need a little inspiration on some ways to turn your snack into a healthy and yummy treat? We've partnered with QFC to share some great tips, plus you’ll take away something to munch on and a recipe.

Before summer starts, it’s important to brush up on your family’s water safety. Learn how to properly fit a lifejacket, how to throw and not go, and the importance of utilizing a water watcher.

Kids and families will love giveaways like toothbrushes from Delta Dental and opportunities to win prizes including Healthy Kids Day t-shirts, a gift card to QFC, a week of summer day camp, a family membership, swim lessons, or Parents’ Night Out.
