Fit, Fun & Fabulous is Saturday

Free health screenings will be offered during the Fit, Fun & Fabulous mini session from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday at St. Mary Senior Citizens Center on Chennault Street in Morgan City.

The day includes free music, too. St. Mary Council on Aging will sell food to benefit its organization, and the Fit, Fun & Fabulous board will sell cola, water and sports drinks to cover the costs of hosting the event, said Tammy Rogers, one of the event organizers.

Different groups will have tables set up at the event providing information on a variety of health issues, such as diabetes and cancer, along with free screenings, Rogers said.

Saturday’s event is a lead up to the main Fit, Fun & Fabulous event to be held Oct. 4 in downtown Franklin.

On Saturday, all of the activities and tables will be set up outside of the senior citizens center with the exception of food and drinks that will be sold inside, Rogers said.

Fit, Fun & Fabulous is a non-profit organization created by multiple entities in the region to promote health and well-being. Its first event was held in 2015 in Franklin, and decided to start doing a “mini event” this year, Rogers said. Organizers hope to hold two mini events a year in future years.
