Health care staff at KVSP participated in the festivities.

Kern Valley State Prison held their annual staff health fair, drawing over 30 vendors ranging from food to health care.

Coordinated by the Return-to-Work Office and Personnel, the health fair offers staff a chance to get information about health insurance and other California State Employee benefits. This year, Kern Valley food vendors, healthcare services, local businesses, and even a golf simulator awaited staff in the parking lot.

Health fair, car show is a hit at Kern Valley

The prison also had a car show. All staff were eligible to participate and display their cars. Vehicles displayed included classic cars, Jeeps, motorcycles, and even golf carts.

The event gave a great opportunity for staff to take a break and enjoy some good food and music.
