CAPE GIRARDEAU, Mo. (KFVS) - The Southeast Area Special Olympics kicked off on Monday morning at Cape Central High School.
Due to COVID-19, the Special Olympics was canceled in April 2020.
Everyone was more than ready to go this season.
“They call my office every week. When do we get to come back? We want to come back. A lot of them have had their vaccinations and they’re good to go, so we are extremely excited to be able to host today,” said Penny Williams, development director for the Southeast Area Special Olympics.
On April 16, athletes from across the Heartland came to the Fred M. Morrow Stadium in Poplar Bluff to compete in the Southeast Area Special Olympics spring games.
