Hilton's 2003 Quest School Sled Race

An enthusiastic crowd supporting Hilton's 2003 Quest School Sled Race. Parents and teachers added to the cheers for the contestants. This was the ninth year of the popular contest and the weather February 26 was perfect for outdoor racing and watching. At right, Greg Booth draws away the starting board with Laura Spath's sled "Francesca's Friend" sliding away in tandem with "The Gravedigger," watched by Ian Scheffer.

Greg Booth, coordinator of the event and teacher of Gifted and Talented Kids and Computer Technology, started the sleds on their way by lifting a board.
