Stonebriar Centre puts a heart-healthy spin on fun Feb. 16
By Sunny McKinnon
On Saturday, Feb. 16, the hoopla is all about the heart when Stonebriar Centre presents activities focused on fun, exercise, fashion and wellness. The event, inspired by the American Heart Association’s February Heart Month campaign, will include local elementary-school students from area schools competing in a hula-hoop contest and a fashion show featuring fitness gear.
Held in the Sears wing near the children’s play area, the event kicks off at 11 a.m. with a fashion show featuring area teens, kids and adults who will take to the runway showing off the latest fitness gear from Dick’s Sporting Goods.
Adding to the hoopla about hearts, students in kindergarten through sixth grades can participate in a Hula Hoop for Heart contest to see who can hula hoop the longest. Top hula hoopers in each category will receive heart healthy prizes.
“Last year, the kids who participated in the hula hoop contest were amazing. They came prepared. Most participants were very accomplished ‘hoopsters,’ and the audience got into the event and enjoyed cheering them on. I hear that the kids have already been practicing, getting in shape, so the competition is going to be fierce again this year. This is getting to be like the hula hoop Olympics, but win or lose, all the participants are gold-medal winners just for coming out and giving it a try,” says Stacy Schuch, marketing manager for Stonebriar Centre.
