BINGHAMTON, N.Y. -- It's easy for someone to pick up a magazine, or click on a link to get information about a diet or exercise routine. However, people are more successful when they have an interaction, or hands on experience.

At Tuesday's Commit to B-Fit, organizers hope to teach people that important information, and make it stick. It's the 8th annual health fair, and each proves to be more successful than the last.

Faculty, staff, and community members are invited to meet with nearly 70 vendors, featuring anything from campus clubs, food vendors, or yoga studios. It's all about making sure people understand that healthier alternatives are available.

"People can actually get that hands on experience at the fair. It's not just a walk around and leave, people could stay there for hours in the afternoon because of the samples and tons of vendors," said Kaitlin Voellinger, a student organizer.

The event starts at 10:30 a.m. and runs through 1:30 p.m. at the Recreation Center in the East Gym.
