Denver's Eagle Project
Local Boy Scout Seeks Help On Health Fair Project
A local Boy Scout is asking for help from the community in completing his Eagle Project on Saturday, May 9. Denver Conger of Logandale is organizing a community health fair and blood drive which has turned out to be a major undertaking.
“When choosing my Eagle project I decided I wanted to do something different from everybody else,” Conger said. “I really felt that doing a blood drive and a health fair would make an impact on our community.”
Conger is currently working with the Red Cross in setting up appointments for blood donations and has set a goal to collect 65 units of blood.
While the blood drive is going on, Conger is also organizing a health fair to provide information to the community. He hopes to have health professionals from the Moapa Valley community and surrounding areas come and provide informational booths at the Health Fair. But Conger said that he has a ways to go before he has the number of exhibitors that he had envisioned.
“I was hoping for about 20 booths at the health fair, but I have not received as much of a response as I would have liked,” he said. “I really need the community to step up and volunteer to be a part of this project. Without them, it will not be successful.”
Conger said that he envisions possible health screenings providing immediate solutions for attendees as well as displays which aim to teach the whole family.
“I am encouraging exhibitors to teach interactively, and pass out brochures, pamphlets, and even small samples,” he said.

Conger will be providing punch cards for all attendees. Those who participate can fill the punch cards by visiting each of the booths. If they do they will be entered into a drawing to win prizes donated by local businesses.
“I already have gift cards to Lin’s Market as prizes,” Conger said. “But I am looking for more donations for prizes as well.”

Conger intends for the event to be appropriate to bring the whole family.
“For those that would like to bring their children to the Health Fair that will be fine,” he said. “I will be setting up on-site babysitting so that moms and dads can give blood also.”
