Jon Ackman gives the Team a Nussbaum Tour
“We had a fantastic weekend! On Friday, the Special Olympics team toured Nussbaum and were still talking about it Saturday afternoon!
After the tour, I had my Certified Red ceremony, which was fabulous to have my family there with me.
Then, we went to the Bloomington Zoo (it was a little hot, but it was a good time).
Next, we went to the stadium for some athletes to compete on Friday afternoon. The opening ceremonies put on a magnificent show. They put on the salute to the Armed Forces along with the lighting of the torch by law enforcement, then a dog show (all the kids just loved) and fireworks!
On Saturday, the team competed in various events. Everyone on our team earned either a gold or silver medal. My son Colby earned a gold medal in the softball throw for his division, and in the 400×100 relay, his team took gold. All in all, I think it was a fabulous weekend…one for the record book! I know the team is still talking about the tour and what a wonderful time they had at Nussbaum.” – Jon Ackman
