Learn to “Get Fit” at the Children's Museum Tucson’s annual fitness fair
What do goats, tomato seeds, jumping jacks and worm composting
have in common?
Not only can they all be part of a healthy lifestyle, but they will all
play a role in the annual Let’s Ge
t Fit Health and Wellness Fair at
the Children’s Museum Tucson on Saturday, April 13, at 200 S.
Sixth Ave.
Families can learn about the importance of incorporating aspects of
healthful living into their lifestyles, from animal therapy, to
gardening and exercise and cooking demonstrations. There will be
an obstacle course for small cyclists, games, crafts, face painting
and information on nutritious eating.
The event will take place on the courtyard and lawn along 6th
Avenue between 10 a.m.
and 2 p.m.
Even better: the Museum will offer free admission all day long, from
10 a.m. until 5 p.m.
The Pima County Health Department will offer
demonstrations on what
a healthy plate of
food should look like.
“The Pima County Health Department is pro
ud to sponsor and support the Let’s Get Fit
event to highlight the multitude of resources here locally
for families who are seeking
ways to stay fit and healthy,” said Dr. Francisco García, the Pima County Public Health
Director. “It is critical to reach children at a young age and support the development of
healthy habits that will stay wit
h them throughout their lives.”
