Turtles take off for Boys & Girls Club of the RRV

A shout, and they’re off — 5,000 rubber turtles slip and slide their way down a trench near the Love Civic Center while children and adults alike laugh, shout and race along to see which turtle wins the race. Word circulates that the dam broke far too soon Saturday morning, sending the turtles onward six minutes before they were set to be released. “You can’t hold back a racing turtle!” someone shouts, and it’s the truth. The Boys & Girls Club of the Red River Valley hosts the annual fundraiser. Most years, the turtles raise around $50,000 for the organization, or about 10% of the club’s annual budget. The money goes towards helping fund music, computer, teen and academic programs.
