What is Hula in the Coola, you ask? It's a holiday at the beginning of February to make us think of warmer weather when we're getting tired of winter. Traditionally, people living in northern states ditch their coats, put on grass skirts, and go outside to hula. Crazy, but fun.
We're going to celebrate Hula in the Coola in the library this coming February 2 for anyone interested (and I hope that will be many of you!). Don't worry, we'll stay nice and toasty warm indoors, but we WILL be doing the hula...with a hula hoop! If you can hula hoop for 2 minutes straight, we'll give you a free book bag. You read that right--a FREE book bag! And you can even ask to see your very own perch librarian hula hoop on demand. I'm not joking.
We're doing Hula in the Coola not only to have some fun in the library, but also to promote Family Fitness Month on the base. And in case you didn't know, hooping (as hula hooping is more commonly known) is a legitimate exercise that can burn 7 calories a minute. That's 420 calories an hour! Who would have thought that doing something we loved as kids is actually good for us as adults? Even celebrities like Kelly Osbourne, Zooey Deschanel, and Michelle Obama hoop.
So, come on over to the library on Tuesday, February 2 to Hula in the Coola for Family Fitness! Do some hooping, get a book bag, and have fun!
Your truly hooping it up at the perch.
