The Hutchinson Soroptimist Club is sponsoring their annual Women's Show and Health Fair this Saturday at the Meadowlark building on the State Fairgrounds. Jane Holzrichter, the president of the Hutchinson Soroptimist Club for 2025 gave us a few details on the event.
“We consider this a fundraiser, but it's really a service award to the community, or a service program to the community, and we have been having the women's show for many years” said Holzrichter. “I'm not even for sure what year we're on at this point, but many years and we have, we have usually in attendance at first to 1000 that come through our doors, and we're real excited this year. We have over 95 booths for the Women's Show and over 60 booths for the Health Fair.”
Holzrichter told us what to expect at the Women's show. “Yes, we have a lot of vendors that will come in with their cosmetics, jewelry, clothing, garden, cabinetry is going to be there. We have different foods that will be there to sample.”
Holzrichter stated that they have just a huge variety of vendors, if you think about it, it is probably a booth somewhere within the women's show
They are excited for this year. Because last year, in order for us to be under one roof at the Meadowlark Building they went ahead and made it free to come through the door. They used to sell the tickets
The Health Fair runs from 9am to 1pm and is sponsored by Prairie Star for the third year in a row. Kyran Lowsew of Prairie Star had the details about the Health Fair.
“We are sponsoring the health fair for the third year in a row now, and we're really excited to do so. We think it's a great thing to offer to the community, a wonderful service to bring so we're really excited about that.” said Lowsew. “We are bringing our breast cancer screenings again this year. So, if you need to get that done, we encourage you to come do that.”
They will also have oral cancer screenings. Plus, they are going to have eyeglass cleanings with our vision department. If you know you have some grubby glasses and you want to clean up, they can do that for you.
