Finishing up Men's Health Month

We’re finishing up our articles in June by continuing to focus on men’s health. In case you missed it, we’ve covered recommended medical screenings, fitting more activity into your day, and tips for eating healthier. This week we’re focusing on overall health and how important it is based on our current situation.

American Heart Association

Once upon a time, people spent a lot of time trapped in their homes without much contact with the outside world. Unfortunately, it wasn't in the 1800s but in April! During that time, the American Heart Association created a campaign to keep people moving, and some of their videos feature a dancing duo. You might find their style of dance to be different from yours, but they have a lot of fun. They also offer great modifications for dancing while seated.

Social Distancing and Masks!

These are some events currently on the calendar. (Social distancing and masks recommended when appropriate.)

Zumba at the Market tonight (6/25) at 5:30 PM. This class is free and open to beginners.

Red, White, and Blue Day at the farmers' market on July 4. The parade is at 10 AM, and although we aren't encouraging congregating, feel free to park your lawn chairs six feet apart but near the market on Main Street. Family groups of course can sit a bit closer...if you want to!

The Farm to Table date and venue have been set. Invitations won't go out for another month, but mark your calendar for September 12, 2020 at the Stonehouse Estate!
