Save the Date! October 1 at 11 a.m. at the Floyd & Mae McCoy Memorial Park the Peebles Trail Town Dedication will be held. Peebles is the first Village in Adams County (and even in the immediate region) to become an official Buckeye Trail Town! Village of Peebles Officials and the Adams County Health & Wellness Coalition with the Buckeye Trail Association will be celebrating this designation and after the ceremony, the public is invited to help us kick off the Adams County Health & Wellness Coalition’s Hike For Health Challenge 2025. We hope to see you there.
One way to get the ACHWC Hike for Health Challenge 2025 steps in would be to join the October 11 Rock Run Trail beginning at 9 a.m. guided by MoonDoggie LIVERee’s Nikki Gerber. She will point out many interesting things you may see while walking. These monthly hikes/walks have gotten a lot of interest and many have said they feel safer walking in a group. For information on the November and December hikes, please go to the Adams County Health & Wellness Coalition Facebook Page.
Bike Lending at Adams County Public Library: Did you know? You can checkout bikes at the Adams County Public Library! Last year, we partnered with the Adams County Health & Wellness Coalition to make Bike Lending possible. Two bikes are available at each library, including Peebles, Seaman, West Union, and Manchester. Helmets are available for checkout, as well. For more information about this program, go to: https://adamscolibrary.org/bike-lending/.
So what are you waiting for? Checkout a bike at one of our convenient libraries, enjoy a relaxing bike ride alone or with a friend, and take in the beautiful scenery of Adams County. We can’t wait to see you riding!
