Here’s to your health

The first Northpoint Fair took place on Saturday afternoon inside the Northpoint Mall at Main Avenue and 13th Street. The event featured several businesses and local vendors that promote healthy eating, exercise, massage, functional medicine and even music. “We want to raise people’s consciousness, and we want to use health as a platform,” said Tyler VanGemert, an acupuncturist and herbalist at Mountain Medicine.
