In the evergreen, outdoorsy wonderland known as the state of Oregon, where the majestic Mount Hood kisses the sky tenderly and the Pacific Ocean waves flirt with the coastline, there exists a quirky, eccentric group of kids. They are the aerobic-obsessed, fitness-freak, endorphin-addicted, Oregonian younglings. They gather daily at the frog-infested Mirror Pond, transforming its peaceful ambience into a spectacle of synchronized leaps, kicks, spins, and twirls. Leading this fit bunch is their sprightly, imaginary friend, Fitbit Fergus. Fergus, a blueberry blue Sasquatch with the agility of a nimble cat and the strength of a brawny lumberjack, is the unofficial mascot of Oregon aerobics. His fur is as thick as Portland's fog, and his laughter, as infectious as Oregon's love for coffee. Fergus moves with the rhythm of a boogieing beaver, keeping the kids in step with his thunderous foot stomps and playful Sasquatch winks. These kids, following Fergus' lead, break into their aerobics routine with the enthusiasm of a thousand buzzing bees. They stretch with the grace of the slender pines, hop like the chipmunks of the Crater Lake, and balance like the daring cliff divers of Columbia River Gorge, all while giggles echo through the state's emerald valleys. Witnessing their zeal and zest, even the stoic bronze statue of Sacagawea in Washington Park would want to join their dance. For these kids and Fitbit Fergus, aerobics is not just a fun pastime but a celebration of their vibrant energy and the state's charm. So, let's get ready to stretch, Oregon kids! The sun is shining, Fergus is waiting, and it's time to get your aerobic groove on!
