Town of Farragut Encourages Kids to Start Moving and Shaking!

Thursday April 17, 2008

The Town of Farragut presents the third annual Farragut Movers and Shakers Club, a free summer exercise program for kids, to promote a healthy lifestyle among families in the community.

The Farragut Movers and Shakers Club, designed for kids in rising grades kindergarten through eighth grade, will begin Tuesday, May 27 and end Friday, Aug. 1, 2008. Participants can walk, run, rollerblade, roller skate, bicycle and swim laps in order to reach exercise goals and receive rewards based on the total length of time spent doing physical activities. This year, every child who completes the program will be entered in a grand prize drawing for a $300 gift certificate to West Bicycles in Farragut. The drawing will take place at the Board of Mayor and Aldermen meeting scheduled for Thursday, Aug. 28.

Registration for the program opens Monday, May 5; the deadline to register a child is Friday, June 13. Registration forms can be obtained at the Farragut Town Hall located at 11408 Municipal Center Drive (across from the Farragut Branch Post Office) or on the Town's website at http://www.townoffarragut.org/. Forms can be returned in person or mailed to the Town Hall or faxed to 675-2096. Once registered, each child will receive an informational packet, including a complete information sheet about the program; an exercise time chart; a map of Farragut's greenways, trails and parks; exercise safety tips; and stickers.

The Farragut Movers and Shakers Club is sponsored by the Town of Farragut, with special thanks to TCBY Farragut and West Bicycles for donating prizes. For more information about this program, please call Anne LaGrow at 966-7057.
