Luck O'the Turtle Race
Each March Rogers County Luck O’the Turtle Race takes place, it is held at Claremore’s Super Recreation Center. Event festivities will kick off at 8 a.m. with a “Turtlicious” breakfast at the Will Rogers Masonic Lodge located at 102 ½ South Cherokee. Hungry turtle racers can pay $5 and eat all they want from a menu including pancakes, eggs, bacon, sausage, biscuits and gravy. Will Rogers Masonic Lodge and the Will Rogers Lions Club will donate all proceeds from the breakfast to the two race beneficiaries: Rogers County Youth Services and Volunteers for Youth.
The day of family fun at the Rec Center will include inflatables, clowns, face painting, games and 25-cent concessions. Sponsors for the Luck O’the Turtle Race will have the opportunity to compete in a corporate turtle race at 1 p.m. Their large-version turtles will be decorated to represent their particular businesses and prizes will be awarded for the “Best Dressed” and “Fastest” turtles. The corporate race will feature motorized and non-motorized divisions.
The festivities will culminate with the feature race at 1:30 p.m. At that time, thousands of green plastic turtles will be dumped into the Rec Center pool and propelled through a race course. Fabulous prize packages will be awarded to the ten fastest turtles and then those present will be eligible to win an additional two dozen prizes.
The turtles are “adopted” by participants when a $5 tax-deductible contribution is made to Volunteers for Youth/Rogers County Youth Services. Participants may also “break out of their shell” and choose a “Snap Pack” of six, 13 or 28 turtles to adopt with savings increasing significantly with each pack. Each year a commemorative turtle race pins will be given to every person adopting a snap pack of turtles. Adoption sites in Rogers County will prominently display “Adopt a Turtle Here” banners and signs.
The annual event benefits two local youth-serving agencies. Rogers County Youth Services has been dedicated to providing free counseling and shelter services since 1976. What began as an emergency shelter has now grown to include counseling and education programs that annually impacts over 10,000 Rogers County residents. The goal is to provide early intervention and prevention services that will allow our youth to grow up in a healthy lifestyle. Volunteers for Youth serves nearly 200 students by offering mentoring to Rogers County public school students through the PAL Program, a second chance for juvenile first offenders through the Juvenile Graduated Sanctions Program, and an after school program for 4th – 7th graders called BLAST.
