Fall is in the air, and the Archuleta Health Fair and Expo is right around the corner.

Lunch will begin at 11 a.m. and feature ingredients from local and regional farmers and ranchers. Additionally, while enjoying the meal prepared by Chef Todd, you can participate in the keynote discussion.

We are excited to announce that this year’s keynote speakers are Stacey Foss and Dr. Asit Goswami, who will share on the topic “Stress and Health - Practical Tools for Everyday Resilience.”
