The Extravaganza is how old?

Celebrating 25 years, Turning Point will be having their annual Extravaganza on Saturday, June 6 from 9 AM-3 PM at the Bachman Recreation Center in Dallas Texas! This one day event is all about getting to experience over 25 adaptable activities for those of us with physical disabilities. Activities can range from waterskiing, sailing, hand cycling, fishing, archery, and much more! Turning point is also in collaboration with several other organizations to make this great event even better! Camp Craig Allen is one of them!! They will be having their North Texas Wheelchair Hockey League there, and I highly encourage anyone who has wanted to learn how to play now will be a good chance!

I have had the privilege of going to the extravaganza for 5 years now, and look forward to it each and every year! I have tried just about every activity usually more than once. These are things that I once thought was impossible for me to get to do. They also have an awesome lunch and great door prizes!

I will not be able to go this year, but I want you to go there in my place! Take some pictures, and when you get back write me and tell me about it at StephanieK@campcraigallen.org! I will make sure that you get to have your say on this blog!
