Rubber turbo turtles in the river.
Kiwanis members L to R Scott Murdoch, Ted Bilan, and Paul Smith.
Dearborn Outer Drive Kiwanis repeated their Turbo Turtle Derby for the fourth year of Homecoming, tossing 1500 “adopted” turtles off the covered bridge into the Rouge River, while a packed bridge and finish line of spectators cheered the turtles on. The top two turtles that crossed the finish line won a thousand dollars and five hundred dollars. Sponsored by Village Ford and Memberfocus credit union, the proceeds will go to fund the Dictionary Project and Safety Town here in Dearborn.
