Fishers invites seniors to walk with community leaders

Fishers is inviting its senior walkers to go on a stroll this fall during its new Walk with a Professional series of events, encouraging seniors to be active and social while staying tuned into the city’s current events while meeting with community leaders.

The free program will take advantage of Fishers’ community parks, meeting each Monday from 10 to 11 a.m. beginning Oct. 5 through Nov. 9 at a different location with a different community leader.

“One of our missions has been to just provide fun different things to do that get seniors out of the house and meeting new people,” Fishers assistant director of marketing and public relations Casey Cawthon said. “Walk with a Pro kind of came out of the idea that we wanted to be able to explore all the diverse locations we have and we also wanted to connect senior residents with community leaders.

The next Walk with a Professional is Oct. 12, with Kellie Higgins, DPM Podiatrist at Ritchey Woods Nature Preserve. Other city leaders scheduled to lead walks include, among others, Fishers Fire Department Captain John Mehling (Nov. 2 at the Fishers Municipal Complex) and Mayor Scott Fadness (Oct. 26 at Cyntheanne Park).

“It’s not often that our parks and recreation director or mayor of police or fire chiefs are able to get out into the community and work with residents, yet that’s also some of their most rewarding moments on the job,” Cawthon said. “This program is really just all about getting people face to face and just talking about what’s happening and exploring the community together and learning things they didn’t know before they came.”
