I had the opportunity to volunteer this year with the Special Olympics. The amount of people who participated was most impressive! We had children as young as 5 and also those who are 50+ competing in various events. There were at least 15 organizations and schools that participated for just our small area. The opening of the games involved the passing of the torch, a parade led by a local band, the national anthem and opening prayer...and that's just for starters! LET THE GAMES BEGIN!!! Being that Mudcat has an international population, I am wondering if Special Olympics (sporting event for the mentally and physically challenged) are held outside the United States? Michelle
