2008 Turtle Races
 
 
 
 
    The Turtle Races, sponsored annually by Churubusco Chamber of Commerce, are sure to be fun for all! Bring your turtle to ball diamond #1 Saturday, June 21, at 11:00 am to get it registered for the races at 12:00 noon.  You could win a prize if your turtle is the fastest, the largest, or even the smallest! 

  

  Be aware that some of our native Indiana turtles

are on the endangered/concerned list.
(such as the eastern box turtle)
Please protect our widlife and leave those turtles in their homes.
 
After your turtles have finished their day of racing, the Turtle Days Association suggests that you please set them free to their natural habitat. 
Their families miss them.
