Car Show
provided by the local Knights of Columbus chapter,
which included barbecue, burgers and hot dogs.
During the car show, another event was taking place
at Main Street Park — the SNA Walk with Christ 3K
and children’s celebration.
The festivities, which sought to give local special
needs children a day of fun, also featured a nonprofit
organization that gives creative job opportunities to
teens and young adults in the special needs community
— Three Basketeers.
Currently, the group has five individuals who use their
skills and imagination to create unique designs for prod
ucts such as Christmas cards, coffee mugs and note
books.
“It just gives our [special needs] population and our
parents hope that there is something beyond school,”
vocational director Sandra Tanner said. “If it means an
adaptive schedule and environment just to get a little
taste of what competitive employment is all about, then
how wonderful.”
The Three Basketeers had a table set up displaying
many of the original products crafted by their five cre
ators. Tanner said that the process and payoff of making
products is a source of joy for these hard workers.
“They have a sense of accomplishment when it comes
to the very end, [when] an order comes in and they go
through the process of filling that order,” Tanner said.
“The last touch is a sticker that says ‘specially packaged
for you by’ and then they sign it.”
According to an April article by sister publication
Forsyth County News, the organization now has a phys
ical store on 6805 Keith Bridge Road at the crossing of
Jot Em Down Road. Their website is www.threebaske-
teers.org.
Outside of the Three Basketeers table, the SNA event
also had fun games for children in attendance, including
a comhole board, a dual basketball hoop and a model
fishing game.
