Up to 1,000 Teeny-Tiny (rubber) Turtles will be released simultaneously into the Ohio River on July 4th at 3pm. They will race their way down a 200 foot course to the finish line!

Our Turtles are available for adoption for a donation of $5. Each turtle has a number which corresponds to an adoption certificate. The adoptive parent(s) of the first turtle who crosses the finish line wins a $500 CASH Grand Prize! That's right, that $5 adoption fee could win you $500 CASH!

NEW THIS YEAR - $100 2nd Prize! $50 3rd Prize!

Several runner up prizes will also be awarded.

Don't wait! Adopt your turtle today by contacting any Focus In Toronto member, or by visiting one of the following locations:

The Olive Branch - 4th St. Toronto, OH

The FIT Committee will also be holding several sales at various locations throughout the city between now and Gem City Day.

*Please note: Adopted turtles remain the property of and in the custody of Focus In Toronto for future races. Your adoption fee entitles you to a chance to win the Grand Prize or one of several runner up prizes but you do not get the turtle.
