2025 Frontier County Turtle Race
The 2025 Frontier County Fair Turtle Race was held Friday, August 1 at 6:00 pm. The race was exciting and competitors brought some fast turtles to try their luck at winning a medal! 22 kids, ages Pre-K through high school, raced turtles in the shade at the fairgrounds in Stockville. Kids were divided into racing categories based on the grade they are going into this fall. The winners of each age category received a medal on a red, white, and blue lanyard sponsored by Tyron Lenz Construction of Curtis.
Results are as follows:
Pre-K winning turtle racer: Riata Kerchal
Kindergarten-1st winning turtle racer: Stormy Popp
2nd-3rd winning turtle racer: Sky Kerchal
4th-5th winning turtle racer: Haisley Ehlers
6th-8th winning turtle racer: Avery Oberg
The champion turtle from each race was then raced in a championship race. The fastest turtle of the Frontier County Turtle Race was raced by Avery Oberg, who received a trophy sponsored by Tyron Lenz Construction.
