30th year open house for Flip Flops and Fitness

Flip Flops and Fitness celebrates 30 years Saturday with an open house at the gym on Poplar Street, Harrisburg.

From 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday owner Katie Whiting expects to see many former gymnasts taught by herself, by Kathy Bailey or Alexa Horton.

Bailey is driving all the way from Florida for the event and Horton is visiting from Norris City.

"Most of it will be people who have done gymnastics there," Whiting said.

History will be an important part of the event.

"We're trying to get pictures from when Kathy had it and Alexa had it and while I've had it," Whiting said.

It will be a time for former students to reminisce and for parents to bring children curious about gymnastics.
