The Christian County YMCA is reminding everyone of the importance of being healthy from a young age by hosting a free community event Saturday. The Annual Healthy Kids Day will feature many businesses and organizations in the community to show residents the many ways to be active.

Andrea Bach is the Program Director at the Christian County Y. She says there will be plenty of events for kids and parents alike to enjoy.

Bach says it is important for kids to be active for long-term health.

The event is free to attend. Other activities at the Annual Healthy Kids Day will include face painting, a scavenger hunt, and being able to meet Sparky the Fire Dog, Echo the Police Dog, and Clifford the Big Red Dog.
