On Sunday, 75 vendors came together in Bristol for the 14th biannual Passport to Health & Wellness Expo.

The expo showcased a variety of holistic health practices, promoting wellness through alternative therapies and natural products. Attendees had the opportunity to explore booths featuring everything from herbal remedies to wellness coaching.
