The Houlton Parks and Recreation Department will sponsor the “Walk Away Winter” Program, beginning on Jan. 31 and running for eight weeks.
The program is held at the Houlton Recreation Department and encourages participants to get out and walk the winter away. Walking hours are Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Participants will log in the amount of time they have walked each day and prizes will be awarded to the top five walkers at the end of the program.
New to the program this year will be the University of Maine Cooperative Extension “The Eat Well Nutrition Education Program” weekly visits to hand out nutritional information to the participants.
This program is free to the public. Participants can sign up by calling the Houlton Rec Department at 532-1310.
