Nourish Expo Puts Healthy Living in Spotlight

Healthy living will be the theme of the day May 11 when Greendale High School hosts the third annual Nourish Expo.

The event includes a 5k run/walk at 10 a.m., a keynote address on healthy living at 11:15 a.m. and lunches served by Greendale High School culinary students from 11:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.

The expo opens at noon and features a bike helmet demonstration and giveaway, vendors, resource tables, exhibits and other activities related to living a healthy and environmentally-friendly lifestyle.

The event is open to the public, with free admission to the expo.

Participants in the 5k will follow a student-designed route through the village. The 5k is free, but advance registration is requested. Participants can get a T-shirt with a $10 donation, which benefits the Suicide Awareness Voices of Education.

The lunch provided by culinary students, for a nominal fee, will be prepared using ingredients made or grown within 150 miles of Greendale. Attendees are asked to register online for the three-course meal. Proceeds benefit the Hunger Task Force.

Betty Holloway, owner of Nutriphoria LLC, will give the keynote address, "Food in the Fast Lane." The presentation is geared toward fast-paced families, and offers tips on making good choices when eating out, healthy office eating and helping children develop healthy eating habits.
