Hard boiled eggs are a popular treat around the Easter season!

According to the Food and Drug Administration, never leave cooked eggs or egg dishes out of the refrigerator for more than 2 hours. Also, if you are hiding real hard-boiled eggs for Easter, do not eat them after playing with them. The shells can pick up bacteria and viruses which may be transferred to the edible part of the egg.

Walk Across Texas” is a FREE, 8-week program designed to help Texans establish the habit of regular physical activity. Over the 30 years of this program, thousands of Texans have participated in Walk Across Texas! Walk Across Texas is NOT a walk-a-thon or an event to raise money. While teams do compete to walk across the state first and/or to accumulate the most miles during the eight weeks, the main point is to get moving and keep moving after Walk Across Texas ends.

Start counting your miles on April 1st!
