Welcome back to the Destination Imagination (DI) students and educators who were in Knoxville, Tennessee, from May 22 to 27. They competed against 90 teams in their category. There were 1,400 teams in all in 28 categories. They had to complete a central challenge and an instant challenge. Opening and closing ceremonies featuring laser and fire shows were held at the Thomson Boling Arena which is a massive basketball stadium. It was packed with around 10,000 people. They attended an open air concert, a duct tape ball and they traded pins and stories with teams from around the world. Russell Denis, one of the educators, was quoted in saying that “the students did a fabulous job of representing the Pontiac. They were very proud of their efforts.”
Simon Donato of Sheenboro and some members of the Amphibious Challenge Committee met on Sunday evening to start gearing up for the race that will be held on Sept. 9 this year. Simon reported that 34 teams have already signed up, including a team coming from Hawaii. His goal is to have 50 team entries which will double the number of teams last year. This is great economic news for Sheenboro and the Pontiac.
Canada Day preparations in Sheenboro are well underway. A schedule of events will be out shortly.
Just a reminder that the fire rating is very high in our area. Fire chief Glynn Fleury is reminding everyone to be extremely cautious. Starting a small grass fire to get rid of unwanted grass can easily get out of hand and there is a cost if the fire department is called out.
