LEWISTON — Healthy Androscoggin gathered for their 11th annual Get Fit & Win final celebration at the Lewiston Middle School Auditorium on Aug. 16.

Around 150 participants attended with hopes of winning great prizes and to celebrate their dedication to increasing their physical activity.

As part of the 10-week program, participants were asked to set goals to increase their number of minutes and/or the intensity level of their chosen activities. This year’s participants included seasoned exercisers and those just starting out from all over the region. They chose varying forms of exercise and kept an activity log to hold themselves accountable to their goal over the course of the program. Many told of the positive impacts adding exercise into their week has made on their overall health and happiness.

The winners of this year’s cash prizes included $250 to Claire Sabine of Greene, $250 to Elaine Verrill from Minot and $100 winners Albert Galipeau and Andre Langlois, both from Lewiston.

Many other program participants won terrific prizes donated by local businesses.
