County. The City of Fort Worth Public Health Department's Health Promotion and Education section/staff

Community Services, Tarrant County Public Health, University of North Texas Health Science Center, City

logistics (i.e. insurance, location, audio/visual equipment, rentals, etc.). The Public Health department is
again charged with serving as the fiscal agent for this event and is currently soliciting additional funds and
sponsorships to pay for this activity. Susan Whittenberger is the program manager.
FitFuture KIDS Fest is a free, fun-filled festival to showcase simple ways. families can integrate nutritious
eating and physical activity into their daily lives to reduce overweight and obesity in both children and adult
populations. The 2007 event drew 3,511 participants, more than 200 volunteers and 37 vendors while
providing families the opportunity to:
