Camel Race 2016

Raising Money for Local Charities

Your involvement in this year’s event will benefit many children in the Milton area.

Awards

The three awards categories your camel will compete in are:

Fastest Camel in Milton
Best Dressed Camel in Milton
Most Popular Camel in Milton

With the proper care, your Camel could go on to win one of these distinguished awards, bringing your Organization valuable respect and acknowledgment within the Milton Community.

Most Popular Camel Contest: To win the Most Popular Camel Contest, your Camel needs to be trained to solicit votes from residents of Milton. We encourage you to collect Advanced Donations ($1.00 = 1 Vote) in Displayed Ballot Boxes or On-line Votes for the Most Popular Camel Contest. Encourage your patrons to support your Camel!

Best Dressed Table Contest: Camel Owners are encouraged to participate in the Best Dressed Table Contest. Be creative, but be mindful of the following restrictions: Height of centerpieces or display on table cannot exceed 2 feet in height Be considerate of others who want to see the Race

Optimist Camel Race (Fast Camel in Milton): Each race includes up to six camels, each being assigned a number 1 through 6 in each race. Three really large dice are thrown on the platform. The three numbers displayed are called out after each throw resulting in one move for each of the displayed numbers. Part of your Camel training is to learn to move one space when their assigned number is called out. Each time your Camel’s number is called out, it moves one space. Advancing towards the finish line each time their number is displayed. The first Camel to move 10 spaces wins the Race. Each throw may result in 0 – 3 moves for a Camel. Rules

The "Camel Selfie" Contest

We will be awarding one lucky person with a prize (TBD) for taking a selfie a camel. Camels will be on display at local businesses after September 1st. To win, simply drive around town, locate a camel and take a selfie with the camel. Upload the photo here or on the Optimist Club of Milton Facebook page and you'll be entered. We will announce the winner at the Camel Race Dinner. To make it easier, click here to see the Optimist Camel Map!
