Other events include bocce, tennis, acquatics, track and field, cycling and wheel chair races. When athletes are not competing, an array of activities await them in the popular Olympic Village, located in the parking lot next to the Shell Building. Athletes can rest and recoup by participating in karaoke, bingo, ring toss, a dunk tank and more. The Morgantown Fire Department also will be on-hand to provide a misting spray for the athletes. At least 1,500 volunteers are needed to help run the games, said Nancy Moore, WVU Special Olympics volunteer coordinator.
Volunteers can be athlete buddies, buddy leaders, helpers in Olympic Village and with serving meals.
The games close on Sunday with a special ceremony to be announced later.
