Turtle racing is a fun event. Turtles of all sizes enter the race and some competitors paint their turtles to fit their personality in hopes of intimidating their opponents. Shay Wilson decorated her turtle to reflect her love of basketball. Paislynn and Paige Stearns painted their turtles to represent their favorite heroes, Wonder Woman and Batgirl. The three won first, second and third respectively for best-dressed turtle.
