On a beautiful summer evening in August, the friends and family of Tracy Demary accompanied her to the opening parade of the Beach Special Olympics in Maine. Tracy had the privilege and honor of representing Berkshire County Arc by carrying the Special Olympics Banner down the main street to start the opening events.
The festivities included performers, sandcastle building, road races and many more events for young and old.

and families have been attending the Beach Special Olympics in Maine for many years, but this was the first year that one of our very own had the honor of representing Berkshire County in such a conspicuous way.
There were thousands of people there to watch Tracy as she marched with her head held high. Her special gift to all of us that night was the twinkle in her eyes and her radiant smile.
Accompanying Tracy was her "family" from 22 Copley Terrace, her mother, Nancy, her sister Kelly

Also attending were her nephew Scott, her niece, Mackenzie, Melissa's son, David, Tammy Grandshaw and her children Lisa and Alicia.
