Healthy Henry County Communities is hosting its annual Stride Into Summer Family Walk on Sunday, June 1 from 1-4 p.m.
This fun, free, family-friendly event will feature a variety of activity stations while you walk along a loop at East Lake Park. Sign in and pick up your goody bag at the tent by the tennis courts. A wagon or stroller is recommended.
Organizations having activity stations include Henry County Public Health, ADDS, I-Smile, 1st Five, The Family Connection, WIC, DVIP & RVAP, ISU Extension and Outreach, Henry County Disability Services, Elevate, and the Mt. Pleasant, New London, and Winfield libraries.
In addition, the Henry County Sheriff’s Office will be there to fingerprint kids and provide parents with an ID kit. They also will be giving away some bike helmets for kids. The Mt. Pleasant Police Department, Mt. Pleasant Fire Department, Iowa DNR, Iowa State Patrol, and Henry County EMS also will have activities promoting summer safety topics.
This free event is sponsored in part by the Enhance Henry County Community Foundation with donations from Hy-Vee, Walmart, and Walmart Distribution Center.
