As her reign as Miss Lyon County comes to an end, Poppinga said she is grate- ul or the experience. She learned a lot during her time as queen and said it helped her with people skills, allowed her to prac- tice proper etiquette and encouraged her to do more community service. “The thing I will miss the most about being Miss Lyon County will be the many opportunities I had to meet and get to know new people and also the diferent events I was able to participate in,” Poppinga said. She encourages the young women competing in the Miss Lyon County pageant to have un and be themselves. “My advice or the girls competing this year is to go into the competition with an open mind and willing- ness to just have a good time no matter who wins,” Poppinga said. “The com- petition, in itsel, is a great time to meet new people rom around your county who you might not have known beore.” She also recommends that participants listen to any advice given by judges.

Emily Ostrander, Lyon County natural- ist, encourages people in the community to participate. “Our goal or this event is to promote t- ness or all ages,” Ostrander said. In addition to the tness aspect, Os- trander said it is nice to participate in an event at the lake. “It’s a really neat location or running and doing the diferent events,” Ostrander said. “It’s at the lake and it’s really beauti- ul.” Last year was the rst time the Conser- vation Foundation hosted a youth triath- lon and Ostrander said the participants had a great time. Ostrander said the triath- lon gives kids a reason to get outside and work toward a goal. “It’s really neat to see the kids accom- plish something like that,” Ostrander said. “We’re not competitive with it. It’s just or the kids to have un. They all get a medal and we have some treats or them at the end. It’s a good time.” Since many kids run, swim and bike on a daily basis, Ostrander said this is a un way to combine all three activities. It also gives kids a chance to participate in a non-ball sport. The youth triathlon will take place on Friday, July 26 at 6 p.m. and is open to kids ages 7-14. Kids ages 7-10 will swim 100 yards and kids ages 11-14 will swim 200 yards. Both age groups will bike 2.5 miles and run one mile. The registration cost is $25 and must be completed by end o day on July 25. All participants will receive a T- shirt and door prize. Ostrander recommends the adult tri- athlon or people who are looking to try something new. “It’s a good thing or people to sign up or i they’re training or something,” Os- trander said. “It’s also a good starter triath- lon i you haven’t ever done one beore because it’s laid back.” The adult triathlon will take place on Saturday, July 27 at 8 a.m. This is a mini triathlon and adults will swim one-hal mile, bike 17 miles and run 3.5 miles. The preregistration cost is $40 and $50 day o the event. Each participant will receive a T- shirt. Medals will be given to the top three nishers and the overall winner will get a plaque put on the Trail o Fame. The 3.5-mile run/walk is open to all ages and strollers are welcome. “It gives runners a chance to enjoy the trail who aren’t swimmers or bikers and it gets more people involved in the event,” Ostrander said. The run/walk will take place on Satur- day, July 27 shortly ater the adult triath- lon. The preregistration cost is $20 and $25 day o the event. All participants will get a T-shirt and the top three nishers in each age group will get a medal.
