Back in the day when her hit, “Physical,” rocked the billboard charts, Olivia Newton-John rocked the look: leotards, leg warmers and headbands. The City of Lake Oswego thinks you can do the same and invites you to attend their 80s themed party, “Let’s Get Fitsicle!”on Thursday, June 15 from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m at West Waluga Park, to celebrate all the choices we have in Lake Oswego to live a healthy and active lifestyle.

If Olivia were here, she’d want you to attend because she knows that some things, like eating healthy and staying active, never go out of style. So while the event is set to 80s hits, the goals are very timely:

1. Raise money for the Lake Oswego Parks and Recreation scholarship program
2. Raise awareness of the Healthy Eating-Active Living cities initiative that is behind many of the city’s popular programs such as Community Supported Agriculture at Luscher Farms, Yogalates at Palisades, Cyclocross Skills Clinics, or the Tuesday salad bar at the Lake Oswego Adult Community Center.
3. Kickoff an active outdoor summer for Lake Oswego families and friends.

Here’s the schedule featuring our own LO Fire Department, Parks and Recreation staff and local businesses:

6:00 to 6:30 p.m. Check out all the activities, including healthy snacks, hands-only CPR, radical tunes, raffle. Be sure you take a spin on the Blender Bike which brings a whole new meaning to “doing two things at once.”

6:30 to 6:40 p.m. Warm-up with the Lake Oswego Fire Department

6:45 to 6:50 p.m. Dance Aerobics with Nancy
