Camel Race - February 5,2011

They're at it again! The Brighton Optimist Club is sponsoring its 3rd Camel Race at Crystal Gardens Banquet Center in Howell, on February 5th, 2011. A different kind of Millionaire Party licensed under the Charitable Gaming Division of the State of Michigan (License #M55856), this event will keep you talking for weeks.

Camels that have been adopted by businesses and decorated uniquely, race 6 at a time in 8 different heats. Wagering is pari-mutuel syle, and there are door prizes, 50/50 raffles and giveaways between the race heats. There is also voting for the best decorated camel. $30 admission gets you dinner, drink tickets for either draft beer or house wine, and an evening of fun. Doors open at 6pm and festivities conclude at 11pm. Proceeds are used to support the Brighton Optimist Club's youth and community service activities.

Doors open at 6pm and festivities conclude around 11pm. Tickets can be purchased online via a secure system at the event web site, http://www.bigcamelrace.com/. For more info, email info@BigCamelRace.com.
