Who needs flying reindeer?  We have pedal power! 

What a blast Activate staff, volunteers and Friends of Philpott had while walking and biking in the Bassett and Martinsville parades.Adult patrons at the Bassett parade were given healthy treats such as pedometers and sneaker key chains.  Children caught life savers that were tossed by Santa’s helpers symbolizing how active living, especially beginning at a younger age, saves lives.

 

Linda Drage stole the show proving that you can rock a scooter and wear a helmet with style!Bicycles were decorated for the festivities as were volunteers and staff.   

The cold weather just seemed to bring the holiday feeling zooming in.  While the Martinsville parade did not allow goodies to be thrown to parade patrons they were energized by chants from the hyped up Activate Team reminding them to stay active even through the holidays.
