Snellville Spirit - Winter 2015

great activity for moms and dads as well as the kids. You can find some good starter bikes at Target and Walmart.

Target practice! Since the day that “Brave” opened in the theaters, archery has made a large comeback and Snellville has the Archery Learning Center at Fountain Square on Highway 78. You can find equipment at their ProShop and also at Gander Mountain for beginners and for those with maybe a bit more experience.

Frisbee golf? Who knew? There are active leagues and recreational players who take to the courses at Alexander Park and Lenora Park. Special discs of sizes and weights make this a challenging sport and a different sort of walk through the parks (and you can mark those steps on your Fitbit). You can find all the supplies you need at Academy Sports and at Play It Again Sports.

Invest in some family time; buy some camping gear! Tents, backpacks, hiking shoes, sleeping bags, Coleman lanterns, and cast iron skillets will make the campfires and stories told with s’mores a memorable weekend or summer away from the technology that seems to rule our lives. Bring out the phones and enjoy the laughter that comes with taking selfies or take those movies that you can share on social media. You can find everything you need without leaving town at Snellville’s department stores, Target, Walmart, Gander Mountain, Ollies, or Sports Authority.

So this Christmas, let’s look at skates for the kids – and maybe for us. Let’s use our technology to help us achieve a healthier lifestyle and encourage each other with the spoken rewards of “good job” and maybe a smaller pant size come spring!

We wish you a happy and healthy holiday and a year of fit, family fun!
