Activity Report: 1st Annual Kickapoo Nation NYE 5K Walk/Run

A new tradition came to life on December 31, 2011 when two Tribal
members hosted the 1st Annual Kickapoo Nation 5K walk/run. More than
35 participants, ranging from six to sixty years old, gathered on a
brisk and clear New Year's Eve evening to run five kilometers, or 3.1
miles, and to promote community physical wellness through physical
activity. The race began at GEC's northeast corner and ran up
Goldfinch Road for 1.55 miles, and then back. Kickapoo Fire Department
members provided support at two points along the route with water,
flashy lights, and tons of encouragement. This run represents our
initiative to promote wellness in all aspects of life through physical
activity. Running any distance takes a great amount of physical and
mental effort, and it is no easy feat! It is our goal to promote and
strenthen the community's physical well-being through a combination of
physical activity, goal setting, and execution of such goals.
Donations from local businesses made it possible to reward the runners
for their efforts! Esteemed Native graphic artist, Ryan Red Corn,
provided the event's logos. Fire department volunteers and the
community came together to support our efforts as well.

 

Activity Report: JMI Volleyball

The turn out for this months "Just Move It" Volleyball Game was awesome. We divided everybody into two teams and played for sixty minutes with a rotation of six players in, and six players out every five minutes. Everybody had so much fun, nobody wanted to leave and continued to play long after the sixty minute game was up.
