SIOUX FALLS, S.D. –Envive Chiropractic signed on to sponsor the Kid Zone at SiouxperCon, September 27 to 29 at the Sioux Falls Convention Center.
“There’s nothing better than a place that works on health and wellness every single day to sponsor this kids’ section of SiouxperCon,” Shane Gerlach, director and founder of SiouxperCon, said. “I can’t wait for kids and families to enjoy the expanded Envive Kid Zone in the Arena during SiouxperCon weekend.”
The Kid Zone is one of the most visited and important pieces of the SiouxperCon event, he said.
