Did you know that loneliness can have the same impact on your health as smoking 15 ci******es a day? 😮

Connection isn't just good for the soul. It's good for your body too. That's exactly why Pogo - A Blue Zones Certified Community and Community Renewal of Pottawatomie County are bringing you the Community Connection Walk to close out Friday Fun Day.

Lace up and join us for an evening stroll focused on meeting your neighbors and building relationships that last long after Health Week is over.
