2010 Gurney Games Event
View Photos Here!
The fourth annual Gurney Games was a blast! Over 450 gurney team members, corporate sponsors, volunteers and guests attended the event. In addition to the big race, crowds enjoyed a Gurney Parade, music, games, fan favorite voting and food and beverages from local vendors. All teams outdid themselves with creative costuming, intricately crafted gurney decorations and excellent racing skills.
This year’s judges Melanie Hebert of WDSU, Abita Springs Mayor pro-tem Sheri Campbell and Valerie Warner were on hand to announce the 2010 winners.
