💚 A huge thank you to the Adams County Farmers Market for hosting Community Health Discovery Day! 🌱

Healthy Adams County and community partners had the opportunity to connect with market-goers, share health screenings, wellness resources, local programs, and helpful information—all while enjoying the fresh food, local products, and friendly faces that make the market so special. 🥕🍎🤝

A special moment during the day was the reading of the Su***de Prevention Awareness Month Proclamation for September 2026 by Gettysburg Mayor Alison Lintal, recognizing the importance of su***de prevention and awareness in our community. 💚

We’re grateful for the opportunity to come together, raise awareness, and help people discover new ways to support their health and well-being.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by and made it such a great day! 💚

Hearty thanks to the 7 ice cream stores that supported our 8th annual ice cream walk: Gettysburg Chocolate Market, Mr. G's, Cone Sweet Cone, Antietam Dairy, Rita's Italian Ice & Frozen Custard, Kilwins Gettysburg, and Gettysburg Friendly’s. They really helped create a fun, community day and profits for the Physical Fitness Task Force. It looked like all participants really enjoyed the day
