The David Magee Show was graced with the presence of Ruthie Thompson, Events Coordinator for Outdoor Chattanooga, on Wednesday. She was a delight!
Outdoor Chattanooga was created in 2003 and stemmed from an initiative by Chattanooga’s Mayor, Bob Corker, now a U.S. Senator. According to their website, Outdoor Chattanooga was designed to be “a regional mechanism with facilities dedicated to the recreational use, education, and stewardship of the region’s natural areas.” More succinctly, it’s about having fun outside.
In the coming weeks, we’ll be visiting more with Ruthie Thompson and her colleagues to learn more about how we can live a healthier life and give back to our own communities at the same time.
This week, Ruthie gives an overview of Outdoor Chattanooga and we discuss the benefits of bicycling over driving.
