Pepie siting at Anytime Fitness

When you stop in at Anytime Fitness to sign up for the 2017 Walking Lake Pepin Fitness challenge make sure you stop and take a look at the Pepie mural on the backboard as you enter.  You can have your picture taken waterskiing behind Pepie if you stand at the "stand here" spot.  Ralph Samuelson would have loved a tow from Pepie. 
Pepie, Lake Pepin's monster, first made it's appearance in April 28, 1871. The native Dakota people that lived in the area refused to travel on Lake Pepin in bark canoes because of the large "creatures" that would rise from the depths of the Lake and puncture the thin bark skin of those canoes.  They would only travel on Lake Pepin in more stout dugout canoes that were made by hollowing out a large log.
​
The mural was drawn by Brandy Geolat and is superb.

    I'm Patty Svien and I started Walking Lake Pepin as a part of my Graduate studies in 2008.  This is the 13th year that our grassroots committee has promoted this event to raise awareness of the health benefits of walking.  We hope you join us again this year or sign up for the first time and enjoy the beautiful surrounding of Lake City as you commit to Active Living and a healthy lifestyle.
