Sept. 30 event to focus on exercise and healthy living

To get your child motivated, moving, and mindful about a healthy lifestyle, Huron Valley Recreation and Community Education — along with Kids in Motion Pediatric Therapy Services — is hosting a Family, Food, Fun and Fitness Fair on Friday, Sept. 30 from 6-9 p.m. at Milford Pools and Fitness, located at Milford High School.

The program is designed for children 4-years-old and up, and an adult must accompany each child.

Parents and children will learn age-appropriate physical activities, good nutritional choices, and strength training and exercises. In addition, there will be child and parent breakout sessions.

The cost is $9 per child.

Costco will provide free food, and participants will be eligible for free giveaways. Everyone will have access to the pool at the conclusion of the program.

Another segment of the program will include access to vendors focused on making the community healthier. Some of them include Huron Valley-Sinai Hospital; Huron Valley State Bank; Rottermond Jewelers; Hartland Eye Care; Dr. Hershey Orthodontist; Deneweths; Rodnick Chiropractic; Total Health Chiropractic; Heavner Canoe Rental; and Silver Bone Pet Grooming Salon.

To become a vendor, contact Kids in Motion’s Tammy Nordling at 248-684-9610, or Greg Morris at Huron Valley Recreation and Community Education at 248-676-8389.
