Kiwanis Turtle Derby

Fast red earred sliders will be on hand for the Kiwanis Turtle Derby on Saturday morning during the Wine and Harvest Festival on the Courthouse lawn!

The Kiwanis Turtle Derby is held every year during the Wine and Harvest Festival to help support our many local charitable activities.  Please complete the pre-registration form and mail it back or bring it with you and enter your jockey on Saturday morning.  Please indicate on the form the names of the jockey(s) you would like to enter.  If you would like us to assign names just leave that area blank and check the box for us to assign names.  The entry fee is just $10 per name per race.

The jockeys are of course invited to race the turtles (only those turtles provided by the Paw Paw Kiwanis club are permitted) and they name of the jockey and their sponsors will be read before each heat.  This is a good way to advertise your business.  A prize will be awarded to each race winner and the winner of each heat will then enter a semi-final race and the top three winners can win a bicycle, stereo or other great prizes.

The race will be held on Saturday, September 6th in the Country Courthouse parking lot beginning at 9:00 am.  There will be a board with approximate race times posted, please arrive early because sometimes the races go faster than scheduled.  Thank you from the Paw Paw Kiwanis Club.
