TULSA - Rides, food on a stick, games, and exhibits aren't the only things offered at the Tulsa State Fair.

This weekend, you can get a free health screening as well: the Walgreens Big Red Bus has rolled into town.

The free health screenings include checks for cholesterol, blood pressure, waist circumference, body composition, bone density, and body mass index.

The bus is equipped to deliver $60-million worth of free screenings.

"They know that many diseases can be detected long before symptoms start to appear which is why early detection is the key to staying healthier," said Wellness Expert Gerardo Hernandez.

The screenings are a $140 value. Those who do not have insurance can also get a voucher for a free flu shot.

The free health screenings run all weekend.
