First Texas Home Health and the Sealy Chamber of Commerce held their 7th annual health fair on October 25, 2017 at the Liedertafel Hall in Sealy. Local community members were in attendance to get routine checks done that can give a critical glimpse into their health. The health fair offered:
- Blood sugars
- Blood typing
- Blood Oxygen Testing
- Blood Pressure Checks

There was also a competition for the Strongest Female and Strongest Male. Participants squeezed a grip meter (Hand Dynamometer) to measure their strength. The numbers were recorded and top male and female each received gifts (view-able at the end of the video below). The meal for the health fair was homemade chicken soup, salad and dessert.
