Over 1000 people attended the inaugural Otahuhu Health Expo, held at the Otahuhu Town Hall on Saturday March 1. 

 

This South Auckland event was as a result of a partnership formed between the Otahuhu Mainstreet Commercial Association and the Rotary Club of Otahuhu to bring health information to the Otahuhu community. It featured 35 health care providers who exhibited on the day.

 

The Otahuhu Health Expo was officially opened by former professional heavyweight boxer, David Tua, who fought for 21 years until his retirement from boxing in November 2013. 

 

The event was free to all thanks to the generous sponsorship of the Otahuhu Mainstreet Commercial Association. 

 

The Mad Butchers’ BBQ sausages were gluten free, the popcorn was butter free, and the gala apples donated by Turners & Growers were delicious. 

 

Patrons were entertained with items by local schools, including St Josephs, Fairburn Road and King’s College, together with Zumba and Swiss ball demonstrations.
