Healthy Kids Day is a free morning of fun activities for families of preschool and elementary school-age kids that celebrates kids being kids. Healthy Kids Day 2021 took place on Saturday, August 28 from 9am-noon at the Northfield Area Family YMCA (rain or shine). This year’s theme was Recipe for a Healthy Kid. Healthy Kids Day 2021 featured a family/kids 5K/2K fun run (medals for all registered participants!), a bounce house, a birthday party, safety vehicles like a fire truck, ambulance and water patrol vehicle, live music, a scavenger hunt and obstacle course, and a variety of active and creative activities and interactive games (did someone say GAGA BALL?!). Local organizations and businesses had booths with information for kids and families, drawings for prizes and giveaways.
