Healthier 901 Fest
Shelby Farms Park
Great Lawn and FedEx Event Center
You’re invited for a day jam-packed with non-stop excitement, family fun and empowering events.
We’re challenging the Mid-South to lose 1 million pounds of extra weight over three years for a Healthier 901. We can do it, together, because there’s power in numbers. To kick things off in a big way, join us on September 2nd at the Shelby Farms Park Great Lawn overlooking Hyde Lake for the Healthier 901 Fest.
This event is your opportunity to hear about celebrity guest Sherri Shepherd’s weight loss journey, watch delicious healthy cooking demonstrations with local chef Kelly English and Chris Beavers of Kroger, join fitness activities, get a free health screening at the Cigna Healthcare Wellness on Wheels, gather weight-loss guidance, join the challenge and jumpstart your journey toward a Healthier 901.
So rally your friends, gather the whole family, and invite your neighbors, because together, we can take steps to change the health of our community.
