Back Again

More people are talking about biking and walking than ever before. Gas prices are soaring, the health benefits of active living are in the news. Health care costs are astronomical and prevention is all the rage. There are a lot of reasons for more discussions about how we can be more active. Forward Fergus Falls has set up a Destiny Drive committee called Active Living. One of the ways to make Fergus Falls a great community is to encourage more people to be more active. The Active Living committee has taken on two projects this year. They are sponsoring a family biking day call "Be Active Bike Fergus Falls" in conjunction with the Central Lake Trail Tour May 21, 2011 The Active Living group is also making a connection with the many walking groups already established in Fergus Falls. The plan is to find a way to support existing walkers and encourage more people to join up with friends and start walking. The snow is melting and warm weather is on the way. Send me a comment if you are part of a walking group or want more information about the bike tour.
