Join us for the FREE Winter Festival on Sunday, January 17, at the Community Recreation Center (CRC). All ages will enjoy this celebration of the season with fun activities. Two teen ski trips are planned for ages 11 to 14, one in January and another in February. Plus, new in <strong>2016</strong>, are magic classes (ages 5 to 12) and Cupcake Boss (ages 6 to 12). Details are on page 9. The ice rink will also be open at Heritage Park/CRC for free skating when weather permits. Like most of us, your New Year’s resolution probably has something to do with health or wellness. Become a member of your community fitness center. Our experts at the Wheeling Park District Fitness Center are friendly, helpful, knowledgeable and will make you feel at home. You may also notice some dust as we make some enhancements to our fitness areas in the next few weeks. We appreciate your patience and know you’ll enjoy the outcome. Fitness specials are going on throughout January, so stop by or call the fitness desk for details, at 847-465-2943. It’s been great to see so many people enjoying Heritage Park. Enjoy the fresh, crisp air this season and take in the views along the site’s lake-loop path. It’s a little less than a mile. If you follow the path over the footbridge to Wolf Road, back along the pedestrian walkway over Buffalo Creek to Lake Heritage, you will have walked almost two miles. Bring a friend or make it a family activity. April 23 brings the NEW Family 2K Hustle to Heritage Park. Registration is going on now and more information is included on the back cover. Think summer: Summer camp registration starts January 1. Check out the special camp pull-out section in the center of the brochure. It tells you everything you need to know about summer camp fun for preschoolers to teens, and includes all the registration forms. Save-the-Date: Plan to attend the Camp Counselor Meet-n-Greet, Saturday, June 4, 10 a.m. to noon, at the CRC, meet counselors and staff, learn about camps, and more. On behalf of the Park District Board of Commissioners and staff, I wish you a joyous holiday season and a healthy New Year!
