THE FOLLOWING IS A U OF I EXTENSION RELEASE
GIBSON CITY, Ill. – Looking to boost your brainpower and energize your body? University of Illinois Extension invites community members to a free, interactive double-feature wellness event at the Moyer District Library, 618 S. Sangamon Ave., Gibson City, IL 60936, on Wednesday, May 28 at 1 p.m.
This special program, hosted by Illinois Extension’s Family Life and Nutrition and Wellness Teams, offers two back-to-back sessions designed to support mental sharpness and physical well-being.
“Wits Workout: Savor the Seasons” kicks off the afternoon, led by Family Life Educator Emily Harmon. Through fun, hands-on brain games inspired by the changing seasons, participants will explore the powerful connection between nutrition and brain health.
Following a brief break, Rachel Mannen, Nutrition and Wellness Educator, will present “Drink Water, Live Better.” This session will explore hydration’s critical role in improving energy, concentration, and overall health. Attendees will leave with simple, everyday strategies for drinking more water and staying refreshed.
“This event is a great way to connect with others, learn something new, and walk away with practical tools to improve your health,” said Harmon. “Whether you’re looking to stay mentally sharp, feel more energized, or both—there’s something here for you.”
This event is free and open to the public, but registration is required.
