Hundreds flocked to Shop Farragut/Farragut Business Alliance’s annual Health & Wellness Expo Saturday, Jan. 13, in Farragut Community Center, to find out how they can improve their physical health, as well as their business and financial health.

More than 60 Farragut vendors — chiropractors to financial planners — sponsored booths this year. “This is our biggest one,” SF/FBA chair Candice Viox said. “This is a huge win. We’re very appreciative of the Town for its support of the Health & Wellness Expo and their commitment to support Farragut businesses. And we’re appreciative of the businesses’ commitment in participating in this year’s event.

“We’re excited to be able to feature some of our athletic wear and excited to be part of the community,” said Michelle Austin, JCPenney general manager. Her booth featured its exertion labels and national brands, such as Adidas, Champion and Puma. In addition to booths, this year the event featured a workshop on how to make a business healthier, demonstrations from vendors, the MEDIC mobile blood donation unit and Mucho Gusto food truck.
