Orr Park Celebrates Family Fitness Day

By: Hannah Rish


Summer is just around the corner, which gives the Get Montevallo Moving initiative an opportunity to  inspire families to be more active.  Last week, Get Montevallo Moving was host to the seventh annual Family Fitness Fun Day at Orr Park.  The afternoon was filled with many fitness related activities including a Tree Carving Scavenger Hunt, a Fireman's Challenge obstacle course, and a rock wall.  Also featured throughout the day were demonstrations from local karate schools, yoga groups and a sample of the newest dance routine from the Calera Dance Team.

Event Table Holder Caitlyn Wood participated in her first year at the park and was very excited to see what it was like: "Dr. Miller from the Kinesiology Department has been doing this, but I was able to help with the planning and stuff this year.  So it's been really cool to get involved with the community, and help everyone get out and get active".

Cindy Wilson, the organizer of the Scavenger Hunt was also enthusiastic about this year's turn out, as she said: "I think this is a fun event.  I'm glad to see beautiful weather and lots of kids with families and we're just glad to be a part of it".
