Calling all families and kids this weekend the Daviess County Parks & Recreation Department is hosting a super fun event and everyone is invited.

THE ADVANTAGES OF GETTING OUTDOORS

Being outdoors just does something for the soul.  Especially with the weather the way it has been lately it is guaranteed to boost your mood but it does more than that.

According to an article in healthychildren.org;

Children and teens who spend time playing outside and enjoying nature can be: Physically healthier. Children play harder outdoors than indoors and they need daily opportunities to do so. More outdoor time is linked with improved motor development and lower obesity rates and myopia (nearsightedness) risk.
