Palm Coast Mayor Milissa Holland is challenging residents to get outdoors and get active. The mayor’s 30/30 Challenge will kick off Saturday, March 24, and continue for 30 days through Monday, April 23. The challenge is to move at least 30 miles in 30 days — an average of one mile per day.
Participants can choose their own form of exercise and will log their success through the city website at palmcoastgov.com/healthy. It’s free to sign up and participate. Everyone who completes the challenge will receive a prize during the Arbor Day Celebration in May. Call 986-2323.
Flagler County Sheriff Rick Staly will be patrolling the streets and serving warrants to public officials and participating citizens to raise money for the Relay for Life at the second-annual Jail’n Bail on March 23.
Staly will “arrest” the participants and transport them to “jail” at the Hilton Garden Inn where they will have to make bail (via donations to the American Cancer Society) in order to bond out.
