Kicking Off National Nutrition Month
March will be National Nutrition Month and part of leading a healthy life means eating a healthy diet and being physically active. A recent CDC study highlights when, where, and how U.S. adults and children are eating a healthy diet. Those who are not getting enough fruits and veggies can take small steps towards meeting recommended amounts, including adding more fruit to your usual breakfast routine or adding vegetables to your meals. Eating a diet rich in fruits and vegetables can help reduce the risk of many leading causes of illness and death, add important nutrients to your diet, and help with weight control. The recent study shows that adults get most of their fruit during breakfast and snacking whether they eat recommended amounts or not. Those who are not getting enough could aim to add more at breakfast or through snacks such as eating a small apple or banana. On the other hand, children tend to eat fruit throughout the day. Children who need more could add extra fruit to their breakfast, lunch, or snack routines. Dinnertime tends to be when adults and children eat most of their vegetables. However, for those who are not eating enough vegetables, try adding vegetables to your lunchtime salad or sandwich (e.g., tomato slices or baby carrots) or mixing them into what you are having for dinner (e.g., adding broccoli into your pasta).

It’s Time to Organize!
Organization doesn’t just happen—it’s a result of conscious actions. Practice this method until it becomes second nature reports All You magazine. Start by tackling a particular room armed with a trash bag, a giveaway box, a box for items you want to sell and a box for things that belong in another room of your home. Make quick, unemotional decisions: If it’s broken, obsolete or redundant, get rid of it. Sort through all the items that will stay in the room, matching like with like. Cluster books together with other books, DVDs with DVDs and outerwear with outerwear. Don’t commingle dissimilar things—it makes it hard to find what you need and creates visual chaos. Make an inventory of what you’re holding on to, then determine how the items should be stored and what types of furniture and containers you’ll need. For example, “To keep these stacks of sweaters and T-shirts separate, I can use shelf dividers. Now that I’ve counted my CDs, I know I need a CD organizer with eight shelves.” Find solutions that work with your personal habits. For example, if you’re a no-fuss type, just grouping things together might be enough, so store pictures in photo boxes marked by year. If you are more detail focused, use photo albums. Don't stop until every object or type of object has a place where it lives all the time—be it a tray on your desk for your cell phone or a hook for your keys. Then, commit to returning each item to its home after every use. Soon, putting items away will become a habit. Getting organized is a great March task! It is always great to clean up and out after each season. Keep things packed and organize which will make it easy to find when you need it and it makes it easy to store. And always remember when packing things up that you label all the boxes and containers!

Local Spring Break Begins April 1 With Fun-Packed Weekend
Valdosta, GA – Wild Adventures Theme Park in Valdosta, Ga. will be kicking off Spring Break for local students on April 1 with a weekend full of music, special events and the annual opening of Splash Island Waterpark.
“Our 2023 Season began a few weeks ago when we debuted our brand new 3-acre addition, Oasis Outpost,” said Elke Schultz, marketing manager. “Now, to add even more to the Wild Adventures experience, we will roll out the first show of our concert series, host the region’s largest Easter celebration and open Splash Island Waterpark all on the same day.”
Wild Adventures LIVE! presented by Valdosta TKO Nissan features an entire lineup of award-winning and Platinum-selling artists, such as Lee Brice, The Beach Boys, Styx, REO Speedwagon and more. The concert series begins Saturday, April 1 with a performance from Grammy Award-winning country group Diamond Rio for the park’s Passholder Appreciation Concert.
Formed in 1989, Diamond Rio became the first country music group in history to reach No. 1 with a debut single. That song, “Meet in the Middle,” began a long string of hits, including “How Your Love Makes Me Feel,” “One More Day,” “Beautiful Mess,” “Unbelievable,” “In A Week or Two,” and more. The group has released three Platinum-selling albums and five Gold-selling albums and has won multiple awards, including a Grammy Award and a Dove Award.
“Our Season Passholders enjoy free general admission to all of our concerts, but every Season we choose one show as our Passholder Appreciation Concert to express our gratitude with free reserved seats,” said Schultz. “It’s one of the ways we say ‘Thanks’ to our Passholders for joining us this Season.”
Silver, Gold and Diamond Season Passholders can pick up their two complimentary reserved seats each for the Diamond Rio concert beginning at 9 a.m. on April 1. Seats will be given on a first come, first served basis. Diamond Rio will take the stage at the Wild Adventures LIVE! Amphitheater at 8 p.m.
Non-season passholders can also attend the performance with General Concert Admission available at WildAdventures.com/Concerts or at any Wild Adventures ticketing booth.
Before the show, guests can hunt for 100,000 candy-filled eggs in the largest Easter celebration in the region.
“During our second annual Easter Eggstravaganza, guests will have the opportunity to take photos with the Easter Bunny, hunt for candy-filled eggs and even search for a special painted ostrich egg to win two 2023 Gold Season Passes,” said Schultz.
Wild Adventures’ Easter Eggstravaganza, April 1, 2 and 8, features Easter Egg hunts for kids ages five and under near The Butterfly Garden and separate hunts for kids ages 12 and under near Kite Flyer. One painted ostrich egg will be hidden somewhere outside of those hunts each day of the event. Wild Adventures will be closed April 9 in observance of Easter Sunday.
In addition to Easter Eggstravaganza and the Diamond Rio show, Wild Adventures will also open Splash Island Waterpark for the 2023 Season on April 1. Admission to Splash Island is included with park admission or a Season Pass. Season Passes are on sale now at WildAdventures.com.
“Make no mistake, April 1 is a day at Wild Adventures you won’t want to miss,” said Schultz. “You can experience all that is new at Oasis Outpost, hunt for Easter Eggs, take a dive at Splash Island Waterpark and enjoy an amazing concert to end the day. I can’t think of a better way to kick off Spring Break and spend time with family, and that isn’t even all that we are offering our guests that weekend.”
The Jason Byrd Band will perform at the Water’s Edge Stage on Saturday, April 1 from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. Rob Evans will perform on the same stage from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. on Sunday, April 2. The stage features live music every weekend and is located at Water’s Edge Brews & Bites which serves freshly baked hand-rolled pretzels along with select wines, wine slushies and locally brewed beer from Georgia Beer Company.
Wild Adventures’ 2023 Diamond Passholders can attend the exclusive Diamond Passholder Party at the Wanyama Observation Deck on Saturday, April 1 from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. The event includes complimentary food, special animal encounters and giveaways.
For more information about the Wild Adventures LIVE! concert series, Easter Eggstravaganza, Splash Island Waterpark, Season Passes and more, visit WildAdventures.com.
Wild Adventures Theme Park is located at the halfway point between Atlanta, Ga. and Orlando, Fla. off Interstate 75 and is home to more than 40 family and thrill rides, hundreds of exotic animals, dozens of concerts and special events each year and Splash Island Waterpark, named as one of the “Top 30 Waterparks” in the country by U.S. News and World Report. Wild Adventures is ranked as the Fifth Most Affordable Theme Park in America in the Theme Park Price Index published by HomeToGo and the Top Theme Park Deal in Georgia by Yahoo! Finance.
