This years Memorial Day Picnic was held on private property. Darrel Turner and Greg Beery set up a blind driver course on some land Turner Realty owns north of Longmont. The course was laid out on an old gravel pit and included a short hill climb and sharp turns, as well as some straight sections. The drivers were blindfolded and the passengers had to give directions. As an added challenge, the driver had to have a passenger guide of the opposite sex.
