The abundance of Health Center, BikePGH, California Coffee Bar, PWSA, activity and possibility on the Three Rivers Heritage Trail can fill the entire summer. and Allegheny YMCA/CrossFit War Streets. California Coffee Bar provided super food smooth- ie samples and people enjoyed them so much that they wanted the recipe to make it at home for a healthy snack. In addition, there have been many children interested in learning yoga. The AGH Partnership Coordinator and certified fitness instructor, Lauren DeDomenic, taught the kids different poses and stretches that they can do at home to relax or exercise! The program has been extended into September be- cause of the increase in attendance of the farmers market and interest in more opprotunities to learn how to stay healthy on the Northside. In the upcoming months, more activities and giveaways will happen like Just Walk! - a
