A free crash course on how residents can improve their health is taking place in Sunnyside this Sunday, with local experts gathering to share their expertise.
The event, dubbed the Sunnyside-Woodside Health Hour, will take place this Sunday, Oct. 14 at Bliss Plaza from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. — and will feature eight short presentations from local experts on areas ranging from nutrition to yoga.
The event will finish with a raffle where attendees will be eligible for gift certificates from various businesses.
