Laughter is the best medicine- so let’s end our day of health with some comedy. My Son the Waiter tells Actor/Comedian Brad Zimmerman’s moving, hilarious story about the grit required to “make it” as an actor. He opened for Joan Rivers, Brad Garrett and George Carlin and now has his own one-man show that is as profound and touching as it is entertaining.

“Brad is a great comedian and storyteller” “Wonderfully funny” “A fun, enjoyable evening. I laughed and laughed”

We’ve packed all these highlights — plus extra bonus giveaways — into four hours (10:00 AM – 2:00 PM), so make a day out of it! You’ll schmooze with new and cherished friends, work out at an exercise workshop, do some shopping, grab a bite, and most importantly, invest in your health.

Health and Harvest is open to the public! Pre-Register by clicking the link above.
