Cedarview Retirement Living was buzzing with activity on April 25, as residents, families, and community partners gathered for the 2026 Spring into a New You! Health and Wellness Fair. The three hour event transformed the space at 511 Finkle Street into a lively hub of learning, connection, and hands on wellness experiences designed to inspire healthier living this spring.

Attendees explored a wide range of wellness resources, from nutrition and fitness to mental health and community support services. Organizers said the goal was to create an accessible, uplifting event that encouraged people of all ages to refresh their routines and discover new ways to support their well being.

“Woodstock is a community that thrives when we support one another,” organizers shared. “This fair gave people practical tools, trusted information, and a welcoming space to explore what wellness can look like in their everyday lives.”

Throughout the afternoon, guests participated in free health screenings, including blood pressure checks and wellness assessments, while local fitness instructors led energetic demonstrations that drew enthusiastic crowds. Nutrition experts offered simple, seasonal meal ideas during mini workshops, and mental health organizations guided stress management, mindfulness, and community support programs.

Families enjoyed creative, movement based activities designed to promote healthy habits for all ages, while local vendors showcased wellness products, services, and healthy living solutions. Raffles, giveaways, and prize draws added an extra layer of excitement, with many attendees leaving with both new knowledge and new goodies.
