Sat{HER}day: Lady Luck-Bet on Yourself The Kroc Center 405 Vermont St., Quincy, IL 62301

Sat{HER}day is a women-only wellness and maker event created to celebrate women choosing themselves, their health, and their well-being.Hosted by NutritionHQ. Quincy at The Kroc Center, Sat{HER}day was intentionally designed to be a safe, welcoming space where women can ask questions, share experiences, and explore wellness without intimidation or pressure.

At NutritionHQ., we understand that traditional, male-dominated wellness spaces can sometimes make it uncomfortable to talk openly about female-specific health needs. Sat{HER}day changes that. This event is all about community, confidence, education, and connection all while being surrounded by women who are on similar journeys.

2026 Theme: “Lady Luck-Bet on Yourself” With vintage Vegas vibes, this year’s theme celebrates self-investment, growth, and trusting yourself to take the next step in your wellness journey.

This event is FREE & open to the public!

VIP Hour: 9:00 – 10:00 AM *More info to come*(Paid early access — all proceeds donated to the Knox Your Socks Off Foundation)

What to Expect• Health & wellness experts you can actually talk to• Local makers and small businesses• Hands-on experiences and education• A women-only, judgment-free environment• Encouragement, inspiration, and real conversations

What’s New for 2026?Thanks to valuable feedback from both vendors and attendees, Sat{HER}day is moving from an evening event to a Saturday daytime experience. This will help reduce wait times, increase energy, and create an even better overall experience for everyone.

Whether you’re just beginning your wellness journey or looking to deepen it, Sat{HER}day is a reminder that you are worth the investment.

Bring a friend or come solo.

Learn, shop, connect, and feel supported.

Bet on yourself… you’re a sure thing!
