Wellness and Prevention assisted in a new event to promote Healthy Living, called the Mind, Body, Soul event. It was a three day event from August 12-14, 2022 that took place in Galena.
The Scavenger Hunt (Mind) included a Helmet Safety presentation and one of the tasks to do for the scavenger hunt, was to get head measurements to know what size helmet to buy. The other tasks included taking photos of the group doing activities around the community. Everyone had fun and left with great memories in their phone. Everyone who participated is invited to a future Wellness Pool Party.
The Triathlon (Body), 20 people signed up for the relay race and 10 signed up as individuals for the race (Canoe race, Bike race, and Running race). Everyone was cheering each other on and even some kiddos was helping with little tasks that was super helpful. Everyone who participated got a t-shirt with the event information printed on it.
The Soul Care Street Fair (Soul) included booths with Bible study, water coloring painting, making stress balls, making play doh, and affirmation booklets. There was music playing and everyone enjoyed the Root Beer Float stand.
We got a lot of great feedback and community members are excited to do it again next year. We encourage other communities to try and host in your village, if you need some guidance, contact Jennessa Miller at 907-452-8251, ext. 5327.
