| For the first turtle race of the season, the weather could not have been nicer, considering the way this spring’s weather has gone. The sun was out and the air a bit cool. However, none of the racers seemed to mind the cool weather.
The 174 racers along with their fan base of nearly 500, made downtown Longville a great activity hub for the first time this season.
Ten year old Tanner Fredrickson of Mapleton, MN was the Grand Winner and 45 year old Matthew Lane of Lawrenceville, Georgia was the Grand Slowpoke Winner.
The Resort Turtle Race winner was Victoria Crouse of Big Lake, MN who with her family was vacationing at Thunder Lake Lodge.
One of the most popular non-racing events was the hula hoop and dance contests.
Kids always help lead the dance contests. For the Chicken Dance Contest, the Chicken Dance Singers were Sean Grube of Dayton, MN; Angela Swenson of Stillwater, MN; Jessica St. Marie of St. Francis, MN and Claire LeMier of Fargo, ND.
The YMCA Dance leaders were Kelsey Schenck of Lino Lakes, MN; Claudia LaRose of Waconia, MN; Tiffany Schintgen of Longville, MN; Tia Lilyquist of Longville.
The next Turtle Race is Wednesday June 17.
