Ollie the owl wins mascot race!

WARRINGTON Disability Partnership’s mascot Ollie Owl showed fellow mascots a clean pair of heels during a special event at a race course.
Ollie joined 17 other mascots at Uttoxeter Race course for their annual Mascot Race.
It was the first time Ollie had been invited to run in the race and members of the charity are delighted he won first prize which included a small silver trophy and a certificate.
Before the 100 m race Ollie had a long day, firstly meeting all the children who attended the race and joining the other mascots in the parade ground.
Once the parade was finished all mascots where taken to the starting post where they waited for a tense minute before the starting pistol was fired.
Ollie put all his efforts into running as fast as he could being chased every step of the way by Boomer the Hound from Port Vale FC.
Ollie managed to stay ahead and took the 1st Prize cheered on by WDP’s Chief Officer Jayne Horton and other members of the WDP team.
The win will put Ollie in good heart for the first ever English Half Marathon which takes place in Warrington on Sunday Ooctober 4 when WDP will be joined by various other charities across the town.
