Congrats to our Top 5 Steppers for the month of October! Our top stepper earned over 22,613 steps per day! Our top 50 at EKU had a combined average of 9,953 steps per day! EKU employees don't mess around when it comes to staying active. 💪

Cooler October air means your heart does not have to work as hard to cool your body as it did during the summer months, making it easier to sustain longer and/or faster walks!

Enjoy the changing color of the leaves and the beauty that makes autumn enjoyable to boost your mood. Regular outdoor movement releases feel-good endorphins, clears your mind, and lowers your stress! 🍁

Great job to all who are getting out and getting those steps. Keep up the amazing work! 👟

Encourage your office staff to get out and get some fresh air along with some exercise. 👟🏆👟🏆👟

August was another amazing month when it came to getting out and getting steps in. Our top 5 had a group daily average of 17,351 steps per day, each! Depending on the stride, that is equivalent to walking between 215-269 miles over the course of the month!!! 🤩 Our top stepper averaged 21,369 per day! 👟👟👟👟👟

Physical activity triggers endorphins, which lowers stress, anxiety, and depressive symptoms. Short walking breaks clear the mind, enhances cognitive function, and helps to beat afternoon brain fog. 😎

Remember to stay hydrated, make sure you're getting necessary electrolytes, wear the proper shoes, AND keep on stepping!

Congrats to all our top steppers! 🏆

Madison County friends, we need your help.

Several local farmers are still dealing with the aftermath of the flooding in June. Many lost their crops and products. We are holding a fundraiser to help this Saturday August 15th.
Any help is is greatly appreciated.

Come on out and see us!
North 1st Street in Downtown Richmond - behind the courthouse

While you are here, stay for a while and listen to some great live music featuring 3 Men & A Banjo

As always, we appreciate your support of our market!

Congrats to our TOP steppers for July! You'd think the heat would slow folks down but EKU Employees are taking the STEPS necessary to keep going strong! 💪🏾

August is National Wellness Month! Wellness isn't another item on your to-do-list. It's the foundation that supports everything else. When we feel better, we think more clearly, lead more effectively, and have more energy for the work and people that matter most.

Let's keep going strong EKU! By taking care of ourselves, we are taking care of the community we are here to serve. 👟👟
