Carrying the Message at a Health Fair: The Perfect Dive into OA!

I had an absolute blast working the Overeaters Anonymous (OA) booth at the Pulse Health Fair! Being new to OA, this was my first big event, and it couldn’t have been more fun or eye-opening. One of the best parts was meeting so many new members, sharing stories, and hearing how OA has impacted their lives. Plus, I was lucky enough to find a sponsor – talk about a win!

The booth was buzzing all day, especially with our “Pick a Prize” puzzle game! It was a huge hit. Watching people light up when they won prizes was just as exciting as playing the game myself. Between chatting with curious visitors about OA and explaining what the program is all about, I felt like I was spreading the word and helping others take a step toward their own journey.

I also soaked up so much knowledge about OA just by being there and talking to experienced members. During my breaks, I strolled around the fair, checking out the other booths, winning some prizes of my own, and just enjoying the lively atmosphere.

All in all, it was a day filled with fun, new connections, and some great insights – the perfect way to dive deeper into the OA community!
