Lawley said the event had more attendants this year than previously.
“I feel this event is one that will continue to grow each year as more and more people learn of the national day,” he said.
The city invited several local businesses in the field of health and wellness to the event to help promote the holiday and each of the businesses gave away a door prize at the end of the day.
The following local businesses were present at the event:
- Expectcare
- Crunch Fitness
- YMCA

Wagner expressed his gratitude for Lawley’s work in making the event a success.
