The Great Paris Turtle Float
June 7th, 2025
Here is how it works! Members of the community can adopt a turtle for $10.00 each or a herd of 11 turtles for $100.00. Adopted turtles are released into the canal filled with water and the top 3 turtles to cross the finish line will be awarded. Win or not, you know that you have supported the positive place for youth. The green flag will fly at 10:00am on Saturday at the Love Civic Center, so come on out and give your turtle a good pre-race pep talk and cheer them on as they head down the waterway.
