Michigan Special Olympics 2010



Brian Atha, 37, of Bay City dances with the current Miss Michigan Nicole Blaszczyk, 23, of Novi. "I'm so in love," said Atha about his opportunity to dance with Miss Michigan.


Mount Pleasant resident Ed McKinin, 37, gives his son Xander, 5, a kiss on the forehead at the Special Olympics Opening Ceremony Thursday. Xander is competing in the youth program for the first time this year.

I attended the opening ceremony for the Special Olympics at Kelly/Shorts Stadium. It is such and uplifting indescribable event. There is so much to learn about kind, patience and love from all of the people in attendance. There are so many stories to be told that it was overwhelming as journalist.
