VALLEY CITY, N.D. (NewsDakota.com) – Let’s Walk Valley City is coming soon! It’s a FREE event on Monday, July 22 from 5 – 8 pm. Save the date! The event will offer fun activities and delicious food for all ages. The event is funded by grants City County Health District received from the Health Resources Service Administration (HRSA) and the ND Department of Health to promote physical activity and healthy eating.
Join the fun from Hinschberger Park to Chautauqua Park. There will be games, activities, and delicious food along the way. There will be drawings for prizes including bikes and tennis shoes for adults and kids!
There will be over 30 booths! Try goat yoga at Hinschberger Park, do hopscotch, try Spike Ball and listen to live DJ music, draw sidewalk chalk with TL Childcare staff and blow bubbles with Just Kidding Daycare, check out the foster pets available from Sheyenne Valley Friends of the Animals at Chautauqua Park, play yard games and lots more.
ON THE MOVE is teaming up with Valley City Parks and Recreation Dept. (an ON THE MOVE partner) to promote parks in July for National Park and Rec Month. “Walking is powerful medicine and the Let’s Walk Valley City event gives us the opportunity to check out two beautiful parks in Valley City as well as walk up to two miles by following the entire path,” states Andrea Winter, licensed registered dietitian and ON THE MOVE Coordinator at City County Health District. “Regular physical activity has been shown to reduce the risks of developing many types of chronic disease such as hypertension, stroke, diabetes, heart disease, osteoporosis and many forms of cancer; and walking can help us keep a healthy weight and reduce stress,” continues Winter.
If any individual or organization would like to have a booth or for more information, contact Andrea Winter at 845-8518.
