On Saturday, April 30 all families are welcome to attend the Family Fitness Day and Resource Fair from 10 a.m. - 4 p.m. at John Muir Middle School in Wausau. The program includes a free lunch, games and activities for all families and an opportunity for families to speak to local organizations about how to live a healthier lifestyle.
