Healthy Kids Day
Childhood obesity is just one of many things that can have a negative affect on kids of all ages. Come to the YMCA on Saturday, April 17th from 9:00 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. to learn how to combat this epidemic. This health event is for the entire family, and will include active games for everyone. Also, the Healthy Family Home Fair will be back this year with exhibitors and goodie bags from organizations around the region. The focus of the fair will be to encourage kids to exercise every day, make healthy nutritional choices and connect as a family. Healthy snacks will be served. The first 60 kids to attend will receive a free t-shirt. This event is free to all kids and their families and will be held rain or shine.
