Hundreds Attend Ida Lee Health, Fitness Fair

Despite the blustery weather Saturday, hundreds of people checked out Loudoun's first Health and Fitness Fair at Ida Lee Park. 

"The turnout is great. There's a good cross section of exhibitors here," event organizer Elaine Stephanos, said, offering the reason behind the fair. "We want to share the idea that this is a healthy lifestyle campaign that anyone can do at any age."

In one surprise demonstration, hip-hop dance instructor Larry Dwensel led a group of dancers in an episode that turned into a flash mob, as Loudoun Free Clinic supporters danced to the song "Party Rock Anthem."

The dancers were followed by a Kettlebell demonstration from Brian Wright and Brian Stevens of BW-PT in Ashburn.

"This is great, there is a lot of energy here," said Dr. Joshua Sampson, of Leesburg Chiropratic Massage, who stayed busy answering questions for attendees.

"It has been exciting and fun, it is a nice chance to meet a lot of new people and answer their questions," said the Women's Wellness and Cosmetic Laser Center's Barbara Petty.
