Club M is hosting a "station" at a Food and Fitness Challenge called "Wrap it Up"

 

Families are invited to participate in "Wrap It Up", this event kicks off with the "wrap contest" where your family will present their nutrition/delicious creations to the judges. Your family then continues through a physical event course where they will compete in a "challenge" at each station. Club M is hosting one of these stations.


Prizes and awards will be given after the event.

 

Contact Cassie if you want to help with the Club M station, or call the ISU Extension Office if your interested in registering your family. 385-8126
