The Pella and Knoxville Hy-Vees will be hosting a health walk on October 3rd as part of the Healthiest State Initiative. Scott Johnson, Store Director at the Pella Hy-Vee, says that this walk began as a way for people to take ownership of their own health. The Healthiest State Walk Initiative encourages those who can’t make it to an organized walk to do a walk on their own, or with a few others, there is even a website to post small walks so an official number of walkers can be counted. The Pella Hy-Vee’s walk starts at West Market Park at noon. The Knoxville Hy-Vee is ironing out the exact details of their walk. Students from Pella and Pella Christian Schools will be walking on their campus at various times throughout the day as part of this initiative.
