ANNUAL CAMEL RACES BENEFIT FAMILY LITERACY CENTER'S MISSION  

A mixed field of contestants were featured at last Friday's Camel Races,

cowboy, a police officer, a frog, a zebra, the late rocker Jimi Hendrix,

politicians, a rabbit, and a sailor.

 

Sponsors rooted their camels on during the races and placed bets.
