March Madness started early at the Fort Ritchie Community Center this year. As part of the Fitness Frenzy weekend, the Community Center hosted its inaugural Free Throw Shooting Contest.
The Fitness Frenzy weekend included a free sampling of group exercise classes, free day passes to the Community Center, and displays from local health agencies. Instructors led group workouts for Zumba, Les Mills BODYPUMP, Yoga, Pilates, Mix It Up, and Senior Stretch. Each sampling lasted approximately fifteen minutes. Organizations promoting health and fitness were onsite to share information and encouragement to Community Center members and visitors. Among the vendors were the Washington County Sheriff’s Office, Washington County Health Department, Heal of Washington County, Visiting Angels, Synergy Massage & Wellness Center, and doTerra representatives.
Twenty-five local children and youth participated in the free throw event. Congratulations to the winners in each age group: (8 years old and under) Reese Tuttle—female champion, Austin Morris—male champion; (9-12 years old) Reese Fox—female champion, Carson Hall—male champion; (13-15 years old) Nick Diaz—champion.
The Fort Ritchie Community Center features a fitness center, computer lab, group exercise classes, childwatch, and before school care. Upcoming events include the first of three bass fishing tournaments, sponsored by Cobblestone Hotel & Suites, on Saturday, April 16, 2016.
