? Organizers try 'something new'
ji <
This year, McDonald's and the state representative
: of the American Double Dutch League, Mattie Peebles,
^ decided to try "something new."
Saturday, April 8, the McDonald's restaurants on
; Akron and Martin Luther King drives and Waughtown
~ Street set the stage for the double dutch teams to jump
rope and demonstrate their skills and enthusiasm. The
_ rain Saturday did not stop the jumpers nor slow them
-? down. The teams had planned the event and they were
not going to let the weather interfere with their plans.
Some team members jumped in the rain and at
Akron Drive they jumped inside McDonald's. .
The teams gave balloons to their audience and,
<r through donations, raised more than $230. They plan to
~>use the money raised to help pay for their trip to the
< national double dutch finals in West Palm Beach, Fla.
The 1989 double dutch semi-final tournament will
be held May 13 from 12:30 to 4 p.m. at Hanes Hosiery
Recreation Center.
