Last Friday night I was asked to make an appearance at Hamilton Elementary School’s Family Fun Night in Coon Rapids. I saw this as a perfect opportunity to promote my platform, Dance this Weigh. Dance this Weigh focuses on educating our community on how to live a healthy life through physical activity and nutrition. At the Family Fun Night I was given my own table which I filled with autograph cards and flyers. The flyers I made were loaded with information about how much exercise we all should get each week and fun activities to do as a family. I also added the new “food pyramid” that is actually shaped as a plate and is easier for children to understand. My Coon Rapids Junior Royalty sisters were also there painting faces and doing stamp tattoos. I even got to test out my face painting skills on a little boy named Max who wanted a tiger on his face. My favorite part of the night was dancing with my little sister queens at the dance that was there with a DJ playing all the movin’ and groovin’ songs. I had a marvelous evening talking with families and getting the word out on how we can all start today to live a longer and healthier life.
