It was also a great night of discovering new, healthy recipes (which I will share below) and the beginning of new opportunities.
One opportunity is to join the newly formed Grayson County Walking Club.
It started as an idea between the Grayson County Health Department, Community Education and the UK Extension office and was quickly picked up by the Weigh Down classes as a chance to get together with our support team and do something healthy.
The club will meet on Mondays and Wednesdays at the Beville City Park at 12:30 p.m. starting May 3.
The scales will be available one day for those interested in weighing each week.
For more information contact Paula Gardner at the Grayson County Health Department at 259-3141.
Weigh Down Grayson County classes may start again in the fall of the year and will be announced in the Datebook of the News-Gazette.
