Hello and Happy Almost Fall... Here we are already in September.  I can not believe how fast this year is going but now that we are in my favorite time of the year, I need it to slow down just a little.

Have you started decorating for Fall yet?  I started this weekend.  I love fall and I love the fall colors.  Having my house decorated makes me so excited.  I love the feeling of fall and fall in the air makes me smile.

What all do you have planned in the coming weeks?  Stay tuned for event dates to be announced.

Thank you for all your support to The Martin News and have a GREAT week!

Falling Into Hat Month

September is National Fall Hat Month. What a great time to have a reason to buy a new hat. Records show that Fall is the second leading time to buy hats. Everyone likes to get ready for Fall and Winter by buying new hats, boots, scarves and gloves. I love wearing the cutesy hats. I see many girls wearing baseball hat

Join with your Family for Family Health & Fitness Day

The 24th annual Family Health & Fitness Day USA is a national health and fitness event for families, set for Saturday, September 26, 2020. It is always on the last Saturday in September. The event's purpose is to promote family involvement in physical activity, one of the goals of the U.S. Surgeon General's Report on Physical Activity and Health. There are so many different things you can do on that day even in Sylvester! Plan a walk at the duck pond. The family can gather and walk the track a few times, feed the ducks and enjoy the fresh air of fall. Be sure to plan something for that day even if it is as simple as kicking the ball around together outside. You can even plan a family walk together around the block. I know it’s still a little warm but if you do it first thing in the morning or late in the afternoon, it will be nice. I don’t know many children that don’t want to be outside and I don’t know many of us parents that don’t need to be outside. Even though Corona is still very present, we can many things with just our family and stay safe. So have fun with the family while enjoying health and fitness day! Be sure to take many pictures and post them on Facebook and even tag The Martin News.
