"The Chamber is very pleased with the success of our 1st Annual Health & Wellness Fun Fair," commented Chris Phelan, President & CEO of the Chamber.

"The Health & Wellness Fun Fair met its objectives of bringing together the best that Hunterdon County has to offer to families, residents and businesses in one convenient location. Plans are already underway for next year's show."
