Howell's Walk Michigan program begins Wednesday

The 2011 Walk Michigan Program, sponsored by the Howell Area Parks & Recreation Authority and Michigan Recreation and Parks Association, is a six-week series of non-competitive walks promoting wlaking as a form of fitness.

Each walk is about one mile (with a two-mile option_) and begins and ends at a different Howell park on Wednesdays beginning at 9:30 a.m. There is no cost and prizes will be drawn each week.

Pets and baby strollers are welcome. Everyone will get a map at the start so you can walk at your own pace. The instructors are Michele and George Buyaki from the Walk Howell Michigan Club.
