‘Live Well’ A Comprehensive Wellness Fair

North Carolina Center for Creative Retirement (NCCCR) and UNC Asheville’s Health & Wellness Department Host Wellness Fair for Adults

The North Carolina Center for Creative Retirement (NCCCR) and UNC Asheville’s Health & Wellness Department will host a wellness fair for all adults from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Thursday, November 15 at the Reuter Center on UNC Asheville’s campus. The “Live Well” fair is held in conjunction with the Reuter Center’s year long 20th anniversary celebration. The event is free and open to the public.

“This won’t be your typical senior wellness fair,” said Ron Manheimer, North Carolina Center for Creative Retirement director. “Center members are working with students in the Health and Wellness Department to create a truly intergenerational event that displays the wide variety of wellness pursuits in Asheville.”

The fair will feature vendors and information booths
from the traditional and holistic health communities, as well as a host
of speakers. Presentations will be ongoing throughout day, with talks
beginning every 30 minutes. Topics will include organic foods,
homeopathy, humor and health, acupuncture, yoga, integrative medicine,
and more.


In addition, students enrolled in A-B Tech’s Massage Program will offer
free chair massages. Healthy and nutritious food will be provided.
Designated free parking will be available in Parking Lot A on Campus
Drive.


A shuttle service, running throughout the day, will take guests to and
from the Reuter Center. A campus map is available online at:
