(July 23, 2020) The Worcester County Health Department is inviting  people to participate in the “Move Your Way Just Walk” scavenger hunt for Worcester health tip messages on Saturday from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.

Worcester County Health Department Public Affairs Officer Travis Brown said there will be 25 general health and wellness tips in each park, with each focusing on healthy eating and physical activity. 

Residents can choose from John Walter Smith Park in Snow Hill, Cypress Park in Pocomoke or Stephen Decatur Park in Berlin.

All registered participants who submit a photo from the walk at one of the designated parks will receive a free T-shirt.

Those who submit the number of messages found will be entered into a free raffle drawing for a chance to win a prize. Submissions should be emailed to Chronic Disease and Tobacco Supervisor Crystal Bell at crystal.bell1@maryland.gov.

The scavenger hunt is a self-directed walk.

“Social distancing and CDC safety guidelines should be followed,” Brown said. “The State of Maryland does not currently mandate masks while outdoors at a park.”

The registration deadline is Friday.
