Turtle race for charity
July 12, 2010 | 7:40 p.m. CDT
Despite the World Cup finals and the dreary weather, the turtle race at Stephens Lake Park on Sunday brought about 30 people together for the Donald Howard Scholarship Fundraiser. For the main event, about 10 turtles were entered in a turtle race. Lunch was $5 and all proceeds went to the scholarship fund, said Nancy Howard, the event coordinator. The $1,000 scholarship is handed out twice a year to recovering drug addicts and goes toward their educational or vocational endeavors. Howard said she was pleased with the event and plans to have the turtle race again next year.
