This Saturday, Solomon’s Super Center is helping parents and kids countdown to back-to-school with a trade show featuring healthy lunch tips, fitness and after school options for kids of all ages. During the event, the Zonta Club of Nassau will also host a uniform and supply drive to benefit the AIDS Foundation of The Bahamas’ After School Program. It’s the second year AML Foods Ltd, parent company of Solomon’s, chose to partner with Zonta to giveback to the Foundation.
“Even with all of the back-to-school preparations, many parents also have to consider fun and safe after school care options for their kids and the trade show is a great way to put quality vendors under one roof,” explained event organizer and Solomon’s Brand Manager Monalisa Sweeting.
“Last year our customers were able to learn about reputable organizations and responded positively to the event. This year, we are showcasing more vendors and are adding in the healthy living component. Our goal is to look at the total health and well-being of parents and students as we begin the new school year.”
On Saturday, judo and dance instructors, swim clubs, soccer and track coaches and educational tutors will all be on hand to share information on their programs. A health nutrition specialist will give tips to parents and kids on staying fit and eating healthy throughout the school year. And for the first time, a farmer’s market will be set up on the outside of the store featuring fresh organic produce. Prizes and giveaways are also on tap for Saturday with a special appearance by the owner of natural hair product line Uncle Funky’s Daughter stopping by with product samples and hair demonstrations. Shoppers will have a chance to spin and win free club memberships from vendors participating in the trade show.
“We’re encouraging our shoppers to come out, take advantage of the trade show and give back to a great cause. Last year, with the help of the Zonta Club of Nassau, our customers were able to donate much-needed new and gently used uniforms, canned goods and supplies to the Bahamas AIDS Foundation’s After School Program. We hope to do even more this year,” Sweeting said.
The trade show is set to take place at Solomon’s Super Center Nassau on the East West Highway from 12p.m. - 4:30p.m. A similar show will also be held at Solomon’s Freeport on Queen’s Highway.
