More than 400 student-athletes from Baldwin County schools competed in all types of events for the 2023 Special Olympics.
“This is the best time of the year the students look forward to Special Olympics and they like competing against their other students and seeing everybody cheer them on,” Vicki Nelson said. “It’s great.

More than 400 volunteers, including Baldwin County students, teachers, and parents were also there making all of this happen.“They’re having fun and we like to see them have fun. Yeah, we support them.”“It’s very important showing everybody. It gives everybody a little motivation to get people out. To tell people that they can do it even when they think they can’t.”“I feel like a proud sister.
