The City of Mission Viejo is gearing up to host its annual Community Health Fair from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday, February 25 at the Norman P. Murray Community and Senior Center, 24932 Veterans Way.

The Community Health Fair features something for all ages including a host of free screenings – glucose; blood pressure; chiropractic; spinal; developmental screening for kids under 6; fitness assessments; and bone scans.

Children will enjoy a “kids’ zone” with multiple games, and free “swag” bags will be handed out while supplies last. 

The spring season of youth sports groups kicks off this month with several opening day ceremonies on tap – including the golden anniversary celebration of South Mission Viejo Little League.

For that 50th milestone anniversary, South Mission Viejo Little League will host players from the 1997 Little League National Championship team for a special commemoration. The opening ceremony is at 1 p.m. on Saturday, February 25 at Youth Athletic Park.
