Trainable K9

More than 700 athletes, 500 coaches and nearly 600 volunteers meet every June for the Special Olympics North Carolina Midsummer Tournament. Add in the large number of family members as well as friends and supporters and you've got an event of epic proportions. These very special kids work so hard all year long for this opportunity to shine in their sport of choice, and the continued support and love from the community is inspiring not only for them, but for their families, teachers, and friends as well.

At Marbles Kids Museum, kids are encouraged to touch and interact with all the exhibits and let their imaginations run wild while discovering their own creativity.

Peculiar Pets offers you a chance to take home a pet that is like no other, and allows you to help the environment at the same time. These pets are made of textile fragments and irregular cuts of other materials, and then stuffed with plastic or crushed water bottles.
