Annual Turtle Trek set for August 18

Every summer residents look forward to the migration of the turtles – the Rotary Turbo Turtle Trek, that is.

The 13th Annual Great American Turbo Turtle Trek will be held on Saturday, August 18 at the Big Spring in Hot Springs State Park, starting at 1 p.m.

First place prize this year is $1,000 cash with the second place winner taking home $500. There are dozens of other great prized that will be awarded as well.

You can adopt your turtle from any local Rotarian, but if you are unable to fine one, simply call Sharon at 864-3151.

You are encouraged to come cheer on your turtle, but you need not be present to win.
