The Special Olympics crew have not been together since COVID. The group thought a barbeque is a great way to gather.

“The athletes haven’t been together for a year and a half. They missed out on their Christmas party and their year-end banquet,” states Janice Weber, a coach and the chair of Special Olympics Humboldt. “We have the go-ahead to start up our sports, we decided since we have some new athletes, and none of the athletes have seen each other in a long time, we wanted to do a welcome back barbeque for the athletes, coaches and volunteers.”

The Special Olympics will be starting their sports back up Saturday, September 11 at 10:00 am with some bowling.
