Herkimer County HealthNet took the lead role in this year's Family Fun Day, held in August, 2011 in the Village of Herkimer. Promoting physical activity and nutrition, I bet this event reached nearly 500 people, including adults and children. I've heard of them before this year, but it seems like they are doing great things with municipalities and organizations and are getting their name out there. It's nice to know that this event and other physical activities in Herkimer County are supported by them.
