This year’s health fair was more fun than many could have anticipated. Christa Angeloni, senior religious studies major, attributed much of the success of the fair to the number of attendees, “ So many people showed up.” Angeloni went on to say “ People really got a lot out of every stand they went to, and actually had a lot of fun doing it.”
