Mark your calendar now for the Labor Day walk

(Chelsea Update would like to thank Sheri Montoye for the information in this story.)

Do you know there’s a free Labor Day Walk on Sept. 2 at the Gerald E. Eddy Discovery Center?

In its third year, the Healthy Communities Walk saves you the time and cost of driving to the Mackinaw Bridge. Instead, you can head to Bush Road and register at the Discovery Center at 9 a.m.

Plus, you can choose which walk you’d like to tackle since there are several of them that begin at 10 a.m. The options range from long and hilly to the less rugged 1.5 mile scavenger hunt trail.

Walk warm-up games start at 9:30 am for the kids, so bring the whole family.

Dress for the weather and bring bug spray. Snacks and drinks will be available before and after the walk.

For more information, contact Sheri Montoye, community point person for the Healthy Communities Walking Program, which includes Chelsea, Dexter, Manchester, Grass Lake, and Stockbridge.
