South Steps, State Capitol (N Street)
We are pleased to announce the date for the 2009 Step Into Fitness Faire! Every year, this program increases in both vendors and attendees. Last year, our numbers doubled with 40 vendors/demonstrators and an estimated 2,500 participants! We expect an even great outcome in 2009.
The Step Into Fitness Faire began in 2003 in an effort to reach working adults who simply find it difficult to eat healthy and participate in regular physical activity during the workday. Our vendors care about people. They want to show the latest and greatest products and services available to help working adults make healthier choices throughout the day.
This event is geared primarily toward working adults. Our purpose is to demonstrate healthful tips, treats, exercises and services that can help working adults make healthier choices every day! This year we will have live music provided by the Wooden Nickel Band as well as interactive demonstrations both on the steps and at individual booths. At 12:15 on 5/ 21 (during the Faire), we will kick off our Annual Walk Around the Capitol. This year, our sponsor, SmartChoice Foods by PepsiCo, will provide a gift for the first 30 people who RSVP (wellnesstaskforce@yahoo.com) and complete the Walk Around the Capitol. It only take 20 mins or so and we encourage you to walk with us!
