The Falls Prevention Program of Holmes & Wayne hosted their last Autumn Trail Walk of the year this morning. Two individuals braved the winds (thankfully no rain!) and walked the beautiful trail at the Holmes County Home! Even though the majority of the leaves have fallen, the views remain beautiful!

The trail walks will start back up again in the spring! Keep moving Holmes and Wayne County friends, it really will make a difference!
