Send-Off for Marshall and Starke County Special Olympics Athletes Headed to State

The Marshall and Starke County Special Olympics is organizing a send-off escort as some of their athletes will be traveling to the Summer Games, a competition at the state level.

The bus will depart Culver High School at 6pm Eastern time tomorrow, June 5th. The bus will be escorted through town to wish our local Special Olympics athletes good luck at the competition. Posters and signs are welcome and encouraged for the send-off.

Marshall and Starke County Special Olympics reports that they have teams participating in Swim, Track & Field, Bowling, and Powerlifting. Teams will all compete at the state level for 3 days, and will stay on the campuses of Indiana State University and Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology.

The send-off route includes School Street to Academy Road, then to Lake Shore Drive, and finally onto Main street. The community is invited to participate and give our athletes a supportive send-off.
