SPECIAL OLYMPICS CHANGE OF LOCATION!! The special Olympics will now be taking place at the Florence Sportsplex! 1 Sportsplex Dr. Florence, AL 35633! The event will still take place on November 7th! This decision was based on the growth and attendance projections we have had this year, along with concerns about parking for all attendees! Parents and fans will still need to bring their chairs! Seating will be provided for athletes and staff attending with the athletes! Help us pass the word!!!
