STIRLING - Linda Horn

For Community Pres

Stirling Local options for natural health and beauty alternatives were highlighted here last weekend.

The Stirling Wellness Fair was held Saturday at the Eugene Burell Community Hall. Dr. Dan Boyle, organizer of the event and owner of Wellness Chiropractic Care, estimated around 200 people took advantage of the fair's free admission to educate themselves on health options.

The wellness fair boasted 13 natural health and beauty vendors all from the local community. Services and products included beauty and skin products, chiropractic, physiotherapy, electromagnetic field therapy, hypnotherapy, mitzvah technique, reiki and reflexology, nutritional counseling, fitness centers, and energy sketches

Judy Cotton from Belleville was one of those attending the fair.

"It is very interesting and very informative. There is a lot of information here," Cotton said.

Madoc resident Shelley Phelps also found the event eye opening.

"I do use natural products and there are people and businesses here that I didn't even know we had in the area," she said.

As event organizer, Boyle deemed the fair a success.

"I am extremely happy with the results. The turnout was fantastic, and our community just got a little bit healthier," said Boyle.
