There is a Cruzin’ Passport kick off event planned in Covington for Saturday, June 19, with the planning and organization led by

the city of Covington.

The program is in its third year and encourages elementary students in the Kent School District to eat right, play and learn about healthy choices while on summer vacation.

The fun starts at 10 a.m. in the Kohl’s parking lot with a fun run and walk. Pam Kramer, lead for the Calition for a Healthy Community which organized the Cruzin’ Passport program, added families should be there by 9:30 to make sure they are registered for the

fun run and walk.

“Part of our kickoff includes a bike rodeo, which the fire department runs, so, kids are also encouraged to bring their bikes,” Kramer said. “We will have several booths, a big bouncy toy, demonstrators, free popcorn and remember

to bring your passports.”
