Final preparations are continuing at Boogie Mountain in Espanola as the town gets ready for the second annual Boogie Rush. Boogie Rush raises money for Special Olympics Ontario and last year more than 500 participants raised $38,000. Boogie Rush tests your physical ability and includes many obstacle courses including wall climbing. Because of this organizers say it could be too tough for kids under six but add that’s a parental decision. All participants get a T-shirt and there’s a huge prize board this year including a barbeque and a weekend getaway. Boogie Rush takes place May 23rd.
