From tarot card readings to natural health practices, there was something for everyone at Bizy Bee Planner’s Health and Wellness Fair.

The fair, which took over the Lloydminster Agricultural Exhibition Association’s Nissan Hall from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on April 5, featured 41 vendors and saw upwards of 500 people through the doors.
For organizer Melissa Winter, the day gave Lloydminster and area residents a look at more natural alternatives to modern medicine.
“It’s a health and wellness fair, and we’re focusing on alternative options to going to the doctor to get a prescription,” said Winter on Saturday afternoon.
“We also have massage therapists here, card readings, as well as basic chemical-free cleaning products. It’s basically alternatives to going to the doctor.”
Winter’s first Health and Wellness Fair took place last September, and after a successful inaugural event, she decided to expand.
“On top of the two health fairs, I’m also organizing the big indoor garage sale taking place at the Exhibition this weekend,” said Winter.
“The next Health and Wellness Fair is scheduled for Sept. 27 and will include workshops and guest speakers.”
For Winter, bringing this type of event to Lloydminster is all about
education.
“I’ve been thinking about it for a long time because people don’t know about this kind of stuff,” she said. “People have so many issues and don’t know how to deal with them, and sometimes doctors don’t, either.”
