The events included a balloon pop, a scavenger hunt, a dodge ball tournament, a basketball tournament and a limbo contest. Everyone could participate and the winning teams got points that counted toward their Olympic score.

Honestly, I believe personally that Ohio basketball has suffered because these events have been held traditionally in Texas and Nevada.

This is the fourth year that coach Bias has helped with our basketball skills Special Olympics events. He and the members of the basketball and soccer teams at Fairmont volunteer and give us tremendous support for the competitions.

This clearly has nothing to do with human agency. These dispersal events happened long before humans were around.

It's just so expensive to put on these events it just made it very difficult to continue without a title sponsor. We probably could have run the tournament, but we probably wouldn't have been able to give this kind of money to charity.

This public facility has hosted several national tournaments, from juniors to professional-level events. The staff is committed to taking care of the area youth and assists with college scholarships for program participants.
