Rotary holds Turtle Trek Saturday

The local Thermopolis Rotary Club will be holding its annual Turtle Trek fundraiser on August 20 starting at 1 p.m.

The event begins with 1,000 small floating plastic turtles that are poured out at the Big Spring in Hot Springs State Park and they float down a small channel of water and eventually reach the first of the cooling ponds near the terraces and The Swinging Bridge. Each turtle is marked with a number and depending upon which turtle reaches the finish line first, then that, of course, is the winner. There are also several other prizes.

For those interested in purchasing a ticket, just reach out to a local Rotary club member.
