Why should I participate?

By April Speck, Coordinator,

Clinton County Healthy Hometown Coalition

The Healthy Hometown Coalition has set a goal to have as many Clinton County residents, including children, to participate in our community event. We want to raise as many funds as possible in order to get new playground equipment for our park.

This is something that doesn’t affect a small number of residents, the entire county as a whole will benefit from this program.

This program will allow residents of Clinton County, that wish to be healthier, an opportunity to enjoy the run/walk and provide opportunities for future generations to enjoy new equipment at Mountain View Park.

This event will be held in conjunction with our Health Fair.
