🔹 Eat well: Focus on a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and lean proteins.

While you are out and about this weekend you may see some pink ducks. The ducks are promoting the Macon County Public Health Duck Hunt that will take place June 1-30. Rubber ducks will be hidden outdoors at local parks and trails, including the Little Tennessee River Greenway. The program, launched in 2023, encourages healthy physical activity.

Join the MCPH Duck Hunt Facebook group to learn more about the rules and get clues to find ducks and win prizes.
