For over 100 years, University of Kentucky Cooperative Extension Service agents have helped families make beneficial lifestyle choices through their educational programs.
In the early years of Extension, the average person’s days were filled with activities that kept the body moving.  
Farming and working in and around the home was a large part of many people’s lives.  
The physical demands of those jobs certainly helped people stay physically fit.  

ri-County Diabetes Challenge Walk on Saturday, Sept. 12:  This fun event will be held at the new Henry County Recreational Park outside of New Castle.  Registration is at 9:30 a.m. and the walk is from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.  
There is no charge and walkers will be given a pedometer at registration so they can log their steps during the hour-long walk.  At the end of the walk, steps are recorded and tallied.
