Johnson City Y Offers Free Healthy Kids Day Saturday

Summer is the time for kids to get up, get out and grow. But for some kids, exposure to activities that stimulate the body and mind ends with the school year. In fact, research shows that kids are prone to gain more weight and fall behind in studies.

On Saturday May 2nd from 1-3:30pm, YMCA West at 740 Main Street in Johnson City will celebrate Healthy Kids Day, a national initiative to improve the health and well-being of kids. The event is free.

Kids will enjoy a variety of fun events including a free swim, fun run, Zumba, face painting and healthy snacks.
