There will also be exhibits by the Winston-Salem Police Department, Fire Department and the Southeast Winston Rescue Squad Inc. All screening tests will be administered by qualified physicians, nurses and other qualified medical personnel. For the kids, there will be a balloon give-away and if accompanied by an adult, a consenting signature on the fair's registration form will allow them to take advantage of the screening.
