It’s wellness weekend this Friday and Saturday at Rathert Field in Junction City.

Nikki Davies, Geary Community Hospital (GCH) Marketing Director, said that Friday evening will offer information on prostate health and cancer.

“We’re discussing prostate health awareness and promoting signs and getting checked every year; we’ll be outside the stadium prior to the game handing out information as well as give away bags,” said Davies.

A cancer survivor will throw out the first pitch on Friday night. Saturday night will focus more on the mission and efforts of Live Well Geary County.

“We’ll setup a Live Well tent – like what we set up at the farmer’s market – and just have all sorts of information about the projects that Live Well is involved in,” said Davies.

Notably, Live Well Geary County is involved with the GCH Farmer’s Market and Summer Picnic Parties.

Saturday will also feature a healthy concession stand with various grilled items, wraps, dips and watermelon.

“The baseball game is a great way to get ahold of the local community and really let them know what’s going on with Live Well and [provide] prostate health awareness by getting ahold of those guys out there that we may not otherwise have an opportunity to visit with and reach,” said Davies.

This is the second year for the “healthy weekend” at Rathert Field. Junction City Brigade games on Friday and Saturday begin at 7:00 pm.
