Healthiest State Initiative Walk ...

This year’s annual Healthiest State Initiative Walk was held October 4 across the state of Iowa. Community and staff members participated in the local Allamakee County event hosted by Veterans Memorial Hospital in Waukon. The Healthiest State office believes walking is one of the best ways to stay healthy and also one of the best ways to connect with others, so they encourage everyone to walk for 30 minutes every day, and not just on the annual walk. For more local routes to enjoy in all area communities in Allamakee and northern Clayton counties, log on to the Walk More/Connect More site at www.walkneiowa.org. Submitted photo.
