CULVER — The Marshall and Starke County Special Olympics Athletes are organizing a send-off escort as their athletes will be traveling to the Summer Games, a competition at the state level.

The bus will depart Culver High School at 6pm Eastern time tomorrow, June 5th. The bus will be escorted through town to wish our local Special Olympics athletes good luck at the competition. Posters and signs are welcome and encouraged for the send-off.
