This is much more than event! Second Sunday has been said to be "a vehicle to raise awareness of the need for local infrastructure that promotes a healthy lifestyle in an otherwise sedentary population." All very important when looking at sustainability and real ways of improving health.
Last year there were more than 20,000 people who participated from 101 counties. This year even more counties have signed on for yesterday's 10-10-10 date! WOW, that's amazing!

As you can see from the pictures and from the website, http://www.2ndsundayky.com/, there are SO many communities involved. Wouldn’t it be great if you could challenge your state to do something similar?
Here in Lexington there were activities from Rockband Wii, Inflatable slides, Zumba, Street hockey, Bike polo, Aerobics, Salsa dancing, Yoga, Pilates, Line dancing, Blood pressure screenings and flu shots. Other counties had group hikes, a memorial 5K, dances and lots of other fun family physical activity opportunities!

That looks like a really great event! I'll have to look at see if they have it here in NC. Hope you're doing well!
What an awesome event! More towns need things like that! Thanks for sharing!
This is a great idea. I wish I had heard more about it in Louisville. I'll keep on the lookout for events like this and spread the word.
