Outlets, and YearOne, gather to display a whole flotilla of large tur tles in the First Annual Turbo Tux and Tiara Turtle Trek , a beauty contest for the turtles. V.I.Ts will be encouraged to incorporate their business design or logo into their turtle's decoration. Onlookers will be invited to choose the favorites. “However, a ‘great time’ isn’t the only guarantee,” Ms. Holliday con tinued. “While the great activities and delicious food might seem to be the most important thing, numerous turtle adoptions guarantee funds for an increasingly important mission. A $5 adoption provides snacks for nine children during a supervised visit with their parents during the reunification process. A $25 Snap Pack adoption provides education al resources/transportation for one home visit to a family in need. A $50 Snappers Dozen adoption pro vides two counseling sessions for a child sexual abuse victim. A $100 Herd of Turtles adoption provides forensic interviews to three child sexual abuse victims.” Turtle adoptions are available at The Peoples Bank, Community Bank & Trust, Hometown Community Bank, First Piedmont Bank, Freedom Bank, United Community Bank, Mountain Valley Bank, Barrow Regional Medical Center, Akins, Classic Hair Salon, Keller Williams and Stansell & Petree.
