The Flame of Hope, which is the symbol of Special Olympics, was back in Davidson County and like almost everything affected by the pandemic, it was different this time.
After missing the annual North Carolina Special Olympics Law Enforcement Torch Run last year, organizers in Davidson County decided to move the event into the evening and make it a glow run, with participants wearing glow stick necklaces.
