Family Fun  & Fitness 2016 was held on Sunday, January 29, 2016, at the Community Center in Wahpeton. The event, sponsored by Richland County 4-H and United Way of Richland/Wilkin, began at 1:00 and ended at 4:00 p.m. The activities offered during the three sessions were: Bowling, Gymnastics, Boot Camp, Archery, Air Rifle, Soft Pretzels, Storytime/Craft, and Fitness Disguised as Fun. Thank you to the many volunteer instructors and helpers!

The goals and objectives of this event are:

• Create an interest for lifelong sports, physical activity and arts
• Provide an opportunity for an inexpensive family outing
• An opportunity for the youth and families to give back to the community with a donation to the food bank

This year around 125 people participated in this event. Participants were asked to bring a donation to the food pantry. 187 pounds of food plus a $30 donation was delivered and stocked by the Helping Hands 4-H Club following the event.
