Nassau, Bahamas, May 28, 2017—At the 2nd annual Solomon’s Fresh Market Fun Walk & Health Fair, vendors showcased products and services geared towards living a healthier lifestyle at the store’s Old Fort Bay location. The event kicked off with a 3-mile fun walk with more than 100 persons taking to the streets, walking from the store’s parking lot to Lyford Cay and back. Proceeds from the walk will be donated to the Cancer Society of The Bahamas to assist with the group’s ongoing projects.

That same day more than 250 shoppers took part in a health fair featuring booths with organic teas, massage therapy, nutritious meal preparation tips, fitness trainers as well as information from non-profit support groups. Blood pressure checks, weigh-ins and glucose screenings were also provided by Doctors Hospital and the Bahamas Medical Center.

“This is our second year hosting the fun walk and health fair and the participation continues to grow,” said event organizer and Solomon’s Fresh Market Brand Manager Naomi Grant.

“Our goal is to use opportunities like this to educate the community on the importance of making healthy living a priority. Through the event, we are able to showcase vendors with products and services to support nutritious diets, forming proper sleep habits and incorporating exercise into busy schedules. We were also able to showcase our range of health and organic food options through in-store sampling.”
