A family, fun and safety fair sponsored by AAFES welcomed hundreds of visitors Saturday at the PX/Commissary parking lot.

DeWitt Health Care Network professionals provided blood testing, blood pressure readings and first aid tips.

There were plenty of fun-filled activities for children, including putt-putt golf, baseball skills game and a balloon bounce. Adult activities included fitness demostrations, gun safety and a car show with more than 40 vehicles of all vintages. In addition to showing their skills with dancing, members of AAFES grilled up a variety of fare for those in attendance.
