April 1st, 2013 from 5:30pm to 8:30pm at the Troy SportsPlex

There will be a fun zone  with a 65ft obstacle course. There will be fun activities such as football toss, radar gun throw, and cornhole. We will also have a timed obstacle race in our fitness zone.  In the education section there should be different tests to measure the children's fitness as well as have educational materials on fitness for the children and their parents. There will be goodie bags and t-shirts available for the first kids that show up. There is a limited supply of goodie bags and t-shirts so it is a first come first serve basis.  Children must have parental/legal guardian supervision at all times.

Everyone will have a great time and a better understanding of how to live an active, healthy lifestyle!
