The Lowdown on the Hoedown... Senior Services had 90 folks kicking up their heels on October 11 at the Silver Sneakers® Harvest Hoedown held at Memorial Park Community Center. The music of Art Lang and Friends Band entertained as caller Tyler Hughes from Big Stone Gap instructed the participants on both round and square dances. Much laughter and smiles were evident as many learned new moves. The Dandy Lines line dancers, led by instructor Martha Davenport, entertained as they invited new participants to learn the most popular line dances. While the hoedown was open to all participants, the focus for Silver Sneakers® members was the kickoff of “Fit in Ten.” This new campaign offers members the opportunity to win monthly prizes by participating in only 10 Silver Sneakers® events each month; those members who participate in ten events for ten months in a year will be entered into a drawing for a $100 gift card and will receive an official Silver Sneakers® t-shirt. But even more importantly, those members will be improving their overall health and will be engaging in an Active Life Through Active Living at the Johnson City Senior Center at Memorial Park Community Center!
