Admission into the event and all health screenings provided throughout the day at various exhibit booths are once again free to the public.

Campo Y Associate Operations Executive Director Dayna Davidson was grateful to the Brandon Chamber for once again hosting the event and all the volunteers for their hard work, continued commitment to encourage Y members and the public to take advantage of the endless programs offered at the Valrico facility.
