Pharmacist Role in Church Health Fair

[araytb]

I'm training as a unit/floor hospital pharmacist and one of the nurses I've befriended asked me to come to her church to represent pharmacy at a health fair of sorts. Like a nice guy, I said yes. :-/

Anyone ever done one of these as an RPH? I mean I've done health fair stuff in pharmacy school like BP checks, glucose readings, diabetic foot exams, bone density tests, and cholesterol checks etc. But I'm pretty sure they have those covered by the church members who are physicians and nurses. Not quite sure what to do or what to expect. She kept it pretty open ended and I think I'll just be given a booth.

Any ideas of something the community would be interested in that's pharmacy related? The only thing I can think of is a "brown bagging" booth.
