Moving Forward With A Healthy Community

The 2nd Sunday program has been a yearly event sponsored by Bourbon County Cooperative Extension Service for the last four years. In 2011 more than 300 people participated. This has been the only community-wide event for several years that promotes getting out and getting moving. In particular, Bourbon County has been lacking a community-wide plan for walking and biking. In 2011-2012, the Pioneering Healthy Community Committee worked to develop and implement a local biking walkability plan. Extension has been a member of this committee since its inception. This year through education, the use of a community planner and community meetings, the city and county have adapted a county-wide plan for bike lanes and walking trails. This is a major step to support Bourbon County healthy lifestyles.
