Walkers invited to March the Mercantile Mile
Looking for a fun fitness idea? Hampered by winter
weather? You are invited to get off the couch, slip on
your sneakers and March the Mercantile Mile at the Davis
Mercantile in Shipshewana, March 1 through March 29.
March the Mercantile Mile is a free indoor fitness
opportunity geared to help people get active.
Employees at Head Over Heels, located in the lower
level of the Davis Mercantile have mapped out a mile
walk throughout the Mercantile.
As in the past, marchers check in at Head Over
Heels located in the lower level of the Davis Mercantile
in Shipshewana to receive their marching instructions.
As an added incentive, marchers qualify for weekly giveaways and receive valuable coupons just for walking.
In addition, walkers may earn points over a four week
period in the month of March to qualify to be entered
in a Grand Prize drawing to be held March 29th.
Need a boost? Need inspiration? On Tuesdays at
8:30 a.m. or Thursdays at 4:00 p.m., join Laurie Sherck,
event organizer, for “Laps with Laurie.” Walking with
someone is sometimes the added incentive walkers
need to keep on walking. Laurie will be your walking
partner and will try to keep the conversation stimulating
to help the time pass quickly.
In addition, join Laurie for “Lunch with Laurie”
on Tuesdays at 12 o’clock noon during the month of
March, starting March 1st. Meet at Head Over Heels
