The fair drew some 1,500 adults and children between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. for what was billed as “a free day of fun for the entire family”.

Youngsters enjoyed face painting and Astoria Dance Centre students ranging in age from tots to teenagers performed in three afternoon sets. Food and opportunities for screening blood pressure, cholesterol level, bone density and asthma were free for all in attendance.

“We are proud of our long partnership with Mount Sinai Queens and are so happy to bring health awareness and information to our community,” said UCCA President Rose Marie Poveromo.

The National Asthma Screening Program provided free asthma testing.

The fair drew 1,500 people of all ages.
