"A Family Tradition" -- The Centre County Grange Encampment and Fair, better known as "The Grange Fair," is August 25-September 1, 2011. The Grange Fair is a city within a town, as campers "move into" the Grange Park in Centre Hall, PA to live for more than a week. Come for the concerts, the rides, the amazing food, the games, and the competitions. But you'll come on back for the experience of being in one of the most uniquely friendly "hometowns" in America...at the Great Grange Fair!
The Strong Women™/Growing Stronger Program is an evidence-based strength training program for midlife and older adults. In addition to building bone and muscle strength, which are important to living independently, and reducing one’s risk of chronic diseases, the classes focus on the relationship of diet and lifestyle factors to chronic disease prevention. Of participants, 73% (908/1239) reported an increase in one or more dietary behaviors (increased intake of fruits and vegetables, fiber, whole grains, calcium); and 96% of participants (1208/1254) reported improved health in one or more aspects (feeling physically stronger, increased flexibility, relief of joint pain, improved balance) since beginning the program.
