							The new 
							banners on display at Latham Park in Lincoln are a 
							gentle reminder that as a community, we need to be 
							healthier. According to information on the Healthy 
							Communities Partnership website, 66 percent of all 
							Logan County adults are overweight or obese. Logan 
							County children are also trending in that direction. 
							The banners serve as a reminder to park goers that 
							eating healthy and being active is important to all 
							of us.
