• WalkGeorgia just completed its first eight-week program and it was a grand success. In Bibb County, 230 individuals and 37 teams participated in the program. On May 14, 2008, the Bibb County Cooperative Extension Service sponsored an event at the Wellness Center in Macon to recognize the top individuals and teams, as well as those who achieved 100% of their physical activity goal. Plans are underway for the fall WalkGeorgia program to be held September 7-November 1, with registration beginning on August 24. Members of the walking and bicycling community in the middle Georgia area are strongly encouraged to participate.
