Vernon’s Red Bird Acupuncture Clinic and Arise Chiropractic Wellness Corporation are co-hosting the third annual Wellness in the Park charity event, Friday in Polson Park.
This year’s event, which runs from 3 to 6 p.m., is in support of the Healing through Horses program, subsidized by The Equine Connection Coaching Services Ltd. and administered by the Vernon Women’s Transition House.

There will also be a silent auction featuring health-related gifts and goodies.
Yoga and pilates classes will be offered throughout the afternoon (pilates from 3 to 4 p.m. and yoga from 4 to 6 p.m.)
Children will be entertained by the Kalamalka Caring Clowns and there will also be a visiting pony.
Other health practitioners and wellness businesses participating include Kalavida Surf Shop, Hayden Fitness Vernon, Rooted Birth, Valley EsScentials at Arise, Vernon Reflexology, Vero Health, and midwife Jeanette Kleger.
