FORT STEWART, Ga. - In conjunction with National Nutrition Month activities for the month of May, the Fort Stewart Commissary was the site for the first Family Fun Fitness Festival, May 14.

Though storm clouds hung in the balance, about 25 Family Members took on the fitness challenges in the roped off parking lot. From 10 a.m. until 2 p.m., they participated in push-ups, sit-ups, and other activities that got them to do a bit of exercise before or after their shopping at the bi-annual case lot sale.

This activity occurred or will occur throughout most Defense Commissary Agencies around the globe.

Local participants were awarded with healthy snacks and cookbooks. The next scheduled Family Fun Fitness for the local commissary is planned for May 2012.
