News: Get Out. Get Fit. Get Prizes!
July 14, 2008
SAVANNAH, GA - (UPDATE: Deadline for participation extended to July 31, and the Wormsloe Historic Site has been added to the hunt!) In celebration of June as "Great Outdoors Month," the Coastal Health District is co-sponsoring a Community Scavenger Hunt along with Skidaway Island State Park and the Wormsloe Historic Site. The idea is to get people to get back to state parks & think of them as legitimate venues to get your 30 minutes of recommended physical activity each day.
