Restaurant Week — the Westport Weston Chamber of Commerce’s promotion of all things culinary — ends Sunday.
If you think the Chamber will celebrate the successful event with a cocktail or two, think again.
The next day — Monday, October 19 — they’ll sponsor Fitness Week.
It’s “an opportunity to learn about and set new health and wellness goals, and for participating businesses to help you achieve them.”
Aka, “work those pounds off, gluttons.”
Companies will offer free and discounted classes and memberships. There are seminars and a fair too.
Plus — why not go whole hog? — public exercise sessions.
JoyRide is one of the participants in the upcoming Fitness Week.
The specifics:
- Fitness Fair and Seminar (Monday, Oct. 19, 7-9 p.m., Westport Library): All participating businesses will showcase their products and special offers.
- Qi Gong classes (Wednesday, Oct. 21, 12 p.m., Westport Historical Society): Sue Gold runs 2 free 30-minute sessions.
- Westport Farmers Market (Thursday, Oct. 22, 10 a.m.-2 p.m., Imperial Avenue parking lot): Businesses offer demonstrations of equipment, analyses of muscle mass and flexibility, and fitness education opportunities.
It all starts Monday. So you’ve still got a few days to chow down.
