ShareKitchen was honored to participate in the Humana Healthy Fun Fair and Well Being Walk that took place at the La Quinta Community Park on Saturday, January 12th from 9am-1pm. The Humana Healthy Fun Fair is an event launching the Humana Challenge Golf Tournament that runs from January 14th-20th and is sponsored by Humana, a health care company whose mission is to help people achieve life-long well being in collaboration with The Clinton Foundation’s Health Matters Initiative.
Participants in the Well Being Walk completed a 5.75 mile course and crossed the finish line at the Healthy Fun Fair entrance. The Healthy Fun Fair featured live music, rock climbing wall, Dance 4 booth by Verizon and Fios, bouncy houses and slides and a variety of interactive play spaces including a parachute resistance game.
A ShareKitchen sponsored Planting Station provided fair attendees and children with the opportunity to plant, grow and take home their own pots of wildflowers. Beginning with a base of rocks for drainage, participating planters filled the pots with soil, a healthy dose of wildflower seeds, another layer of soil to cover and a drizzle of water to start the process of growth. With seeds expected to sprout in the next week, these pots not only educated people on how to plant and grow wildflowers, they also represent the process by which ShareKitchen can help our community take food-focused ideas from ‘Concept to Consumer’ through our business development programs and support services.
ShareKitchen was founded on the simple principle of sharing and that’s just what we’re doing. We’re sharing our contacts, local and national affiliations and our world class board of advisors to help local people turn their recipes and dreams into local products and sustainable food-focused businesses.
