Health Festival

Overview & Statistics

Color GuardWe all know that October is a magical month for baseball as fans sit on the edge of their seats, hoping that this is the year their team will appear in the wonderment that is the World Series. This year, though, the baseball fans of Clark County got an additional nine-inning gift at the Teachers Health Trust's annual Health Festival.

No matter what MLB team you followed all summer, there was plenty to cheer for at Health Festival 2K9 - Good Health: Every Body Wins!! Music and dance from Las Vegas talent such as Dance Xpress, Rancho High School and Sinco kept all of the Trust's MVPs entertained throughout the nine innings of good health that comprised this year's festival. Caricatures In addition, the little leaguers on the field were treated to games, fortune tellers, balloon twisters, caricature artists and the perrennially favored CCEA Cake Walk. On top of all the entertainment, the Health Festival supplied a dugout full of prizes, gifts and giveaways throughout the day! This year, lucky players won some fantastic prizes, including iPods, autographed baseballs and Area 51s VIP tickets.

We at the Trust always hope the festival brings our players Raffle Winner to the plate ready to knock one out of the park and this year, with over 2,500 attendees at this year's festival, there was little doubt that the educational community of Clark County came to play ball the healthy way! The Trust would like to thank our 2K9 partner, Clark County Education Association, as well as all our employees, sponsors, vendors and donators for their hard work and dedication. Most of all, though, we want to thank all the wonderful attendees who help make the annual Health Festival the succress that it is! We certainly hope you enjoyed the game. As always, the Trust looks forward to reviewing your comments and suggestions so we can make 2010 even better!
