This past week has been a busy one for Live Wright! On Thursday, July 9th, Live Wright helped sponsor Power of Produce Kids Club at the Monticello Farmers' Market for the first time ever! Kids ages 4-12 can attend the market, sign up and receive $2 of Market Money to purchase any fresh fruit or vegetable they would like. The first week we had over 100 kids sign up! Next market (7/16) will have even more of a variety of fruit and vegetables, like sweet corn! Head over to the Monticello Library parking lot every Thursday between 3:30 and 7 to participate!

Walk, Ride, or Roll to Open Streets Buffalo Tomorrow!

Residence will have a chance to see their streets from a new perspective when their community hosts its third annual Open Streets event, tomorrow, Saturday, July 11th from 10 AM until 2 PM. The main event will be held on 1st Avenue NE, starting at Division Street and ending at the corner of 1st Avenue NE and Hwy 25 ( in front of Lillians).

The mission of Open Streets Buffalo is to foster individual and community health through creative use of public space. Open Streets Buffalo is an event that encourages recreation, community activities and fun in Buffalo, MN. The Open Streets event closes stretches of city streets to automobile traffic and opens them to people for several hours to enjoy a large, temporary, public space where they can bike, walk, run, dance, do yoga, or do any other physical activity. Non-profit and health organizations offer a variety of free activities and share information about their services during the event.
Join your community for fun, food, and physical activity on the Open Streets of downtown Buffalo! Visit us online at http://www.openstreetsbuffalo.org/ for more information regarding Open Streets Buffalo! Click here to print of a free Open Streets Buffalo map!
