Opening ceremonies were held on Friday night when four Frederick children with cere- bral palsy gave the torch to Dr. Martha Church and the games officially began. The opening ceremonies consisted of a dinner, with entertainment provided by the Hood Dance and Hood ' s Gospel Choir. The games began Saturday, with everyone wearing their own team ' s creatively designed T-shirts. They included an eady morning mile run, the tug-of- war, a frog race, a penny dive, hula hooping, an egg toss, and shaving balloons. After a short lunch break, the festivities con- tinued with a pizza eating con- test.

The day ended with a big Around the Worid Party in the Meyran Smoker. The clos- ing ceremonies took place Sun- day afternoon after the outdoor concert. The Dust Bunnies received the gold, the Mara- thoners won the silver, and the Wonder Tootsies took the bronze. — Clare Beatti . A3I 6 |-][ood Olympics
