With summer events in full swing, hydration remains key 

Summer events like the Norman County Fair, and Hillsboro Days are in full swing across the region, and a common sight you’ll see at these kinds of events are children running around having fun. One thing that can often be overlooked by parents at these events is hydration, and that could lead to problems.  Kelsey Merkens of Norman Mahnomen Public Health reminds parents to make sure their kids are staying hydrated during these events. 

Merkens also told us the signs of dehydration, and what you should do if you or someone else is showing them.
