The Expo will also feature healthy cooking demonstrations, educational seminars, dental screenings, carotid artery tests, skin cancer screenings, kid’s activities, and free product samples.
Participants will have a chance to win several door prizes, including Spurs memorabilia. Former San Antonio Spur, George “The Iceman” Gervin will be on hand from 10:45 a.m. to noon to share his personal battle with high blood pressure.
