Pettis County Gets Active This Summer
Lots of groups and organizations in our area are deciding that they want to get active. For me, that means pretty much doing anything that's off the couch. But for these busy folks, they'll be doing a lot of walking, running, exercising, and other sporty stuff!
In fact, I've noticed that there are several patterns to these type of things. When the weather warms, people like to throw Ice Cream Socials. When the weather cools, then it's a Chili Supper. And for the inbetween areas, then it's a 5k Run or Walk. Well, there's those events, and there's a little more going on. Here's the lowdown on some of them.
The Smithton Class of 2014 will have a 5k Run/Walk.
It’ll be held on Saturday, August 10 at 7:30 a.m. The registration begins at 7:00 a.m. at the Smithton City Park. Adult admission is $10 and for children the cost is $5. Children under 12 must be accompanied by an adult. Participants under 18 must have a parental signature. For more information contact Cynthia McMullen at 660-553-0690. They'll have these every month, and we'll keep you posted for the date of the September one.
The J.A.K.E.S. event will get kids and youth outdoors and moving with popular sports.
