Wellness Day

The Houlton Recreation Department in cooperation with Houlton Regional Hospital and University of Maine Cooperative Extension will be sponsoring a Senior Citizens Wellness Morning on Tuesday, March 27 from 9 a.m. to noon at the Houlton Recreation Center. Through the Walk Away Winter program, the cooperative extension staff was on hand teaching healthy cooking, from left, Cassie McAfee, Jolyn Stevens and Tess Buswell. The free event is open to the general public and was developed to share a variety of wellness activities for the senior population. There will be many different wellness booths, some giveaways, demonstration/participation sessions and healthy snacks. The Walk Away Winter Program winners will be announced on this day, as well. The Houlton Police Department will also be taking out-of-date medications and sharps.
