Today is a Healthy Day at the Capitol

Published by sara under Events, Free Stuff, Go Green

Today, Thursday, May 21, 2009, is “Bike to Work Day”.  If you work anywhere near the Capitol you can bike over to the Capitol Bike Fest happening from 11:00AM to 1:00PM on the west steps of the Capitol.  Or maybe you are starting your Memorial Day holiday a little early and can just bike on downtown for the music, prizes, and award presentations and drawing for bicycles.  If you bring your bike you can get a free bike safety check and there will also be safe staffed valet parking for your bike.

On the south steps of the Capitol at the same 11:00AM to 1:00PM time frame is the 6th annual “Step Into Wellness Faire”, with more than 40 vendors and music from the Wooden Nickel Band.

If that’s not enough, on the east side of the capitol, First Lady Maria Shriver will be planting a garden to demonstrate how easy and healthy it is to grow your own food and what good exercise it is to garden.

The gardening program will have booths of information, from making healthy smoothies to recipes for the food you grow, with samples. Add the 49 exhibitors at the Fitness Fair, and all those at the BikeFest, and you’ll have more than 100 tables of information on healthy living.

 Something healthy for everyone all around the Capitol from 11:00AM to 1:00PM today.
