Turtle soup anyone? NO:Turtle racing at Freedom Saturday. Families watched their turtle race to the finish line. Shay Wilson's turtle claimed Best Dressed sporting a braided hair extension; Paige Stearns won for the Most Patriotic Turtle – the red, white and blue one; and the Judge's Choice award went to Trenton Welty for his turtle "Flash." Take note: the fastest turtle in this pot was the smallest one, owned by Kallie Hopper.
