• Inflatables

Healthy snacks and prizes will also be available, along with booths with information about services.

In conjunction with the event, Reid is also sponsoring Family Day at Connersville Park Pool with free admission from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. - and a free beach towel to the first 250 swimmers.

"As part of our continued efforts in the region to provide resources that encourage and promote wellness, we hope this event encourages community members to join us in a day full of physical activity appropriate for all ages and abilities," Kester said. The event is supported by Reid Health Community Benefit.
