Hey, Hamilton families! Hamilton City School District's Big Blue Food Truck will be making its rounds to all the splash pads this summer. It kicks off tomorrow at Millikin Woods!

*********************************************

As part of the celebration of Butler County Regional Transit Authority's 30th anniversary, the agency will provide limited free bus service on weekends starting next month.

Hey everyone, have you heard the news? Our city center is about to get a whole lot more accessible on weekends! Thanks to the Butler County Regional Transit Authority celebrating its 30th anniversary, we're in for a treat – free weekend bus service starting next month.

I can't wait to hop on board and see where it takes me! Businesses here in Hamilton are buzzing with excitement, and for good reason. This shuttle service is like a breath of fresh air for our community.

The Summer of Celebration Shuttle, as they're calling it, is a fantastic initiative. It's set to run from June 21 to Aug. 24, just in time for Hamilpalooza.

It's all about making life easier for us locals. The shuttle will zip along High and Main streets, making it a breeze to explore our vibrant urban core. And get this – it's completely free! Talk about a win-win.

With the shuttle running from 5 p.m. to midnight on Fridays and noon to midnight on Saturdays, we've got plenty of time to make the most of it. Plus, businesses are getting in on the action too. I've heard there'll be specials galore on the opening weekend, and shuttle riders even get a punch card for freebies and giveaways.

But it's not just about fun and games – this pilot program could pave the way for more public transportation options in the future. Passenger data will be tracked during the trial run to advocate for even better transit solutions down the line. Now that's what I call forward thinking!

As a resident who loves this city, I couldn't be happier. More people discovering our local gems like Sara's House and Tano Bistro? Sign me up! And with Hamilpalooza expanding beyond Marcum Park, thanks to the shuttle, it's shaping up to be one epic summer.

So, who's ready to explore our city center in style? I'll see you on the bus! And if you want to know more about the routes and stops, just check out the Butler County RTA's website or their social media accounts. Let's make this summer one to remember! 🚌✨

Natural Health and Nutrition Tips That Are Evidence-Based

Lift weights

Strength and resistance training are some of the best forms of exercises you can do to strengthen your muscles and improve your body composition.

It may also lead to important improvements in metabolic health, including improved insulin sensitivity — meaning your blood sugar levels are easier to manage — and increases in your metabolic rate, or how many calories you burn at rest.

If you do not have weights, you can use your own bodyweight or resistance bands to create resistance and get a comparable workout with many of the same benefits.

The Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans recommends resistance training twice per week.
