Special Olympics were once a tradition in Decatur County.
With an idea to resurrect the event, a leadership team was formed by individuals from the community.
The team includes Paul Medley, Jim Beck, Ruby Barlow, Ken Bailey, Krystal Hiers, Pat Harrell, Catherine Gossett and Jimmie Hill.
After completing the application process, Decatur County Special Olympics earned accreditation from Special Olympics Georgia for the year 2010-2011.
Part of the team's vision is for Special Olympics to permanently remain in Decatur County focusing the first event on Decatur County School System students.
