This past summer, the members of the Solid Gold Twirlers team competed at the 2012 Amateur Athletic Union (AAU) Junior Olympic Games held in Houston, Texas.
Representing Florida and the western communities, the team won gold. The AAU Junior Olympic Games are known as the largest national multi-sport event for youth in the United States.
The Solid Gold Twirlers is a baton-twirling, poms and flag team based in the western communities.
For more than 23 years, the team has participated in numerous local and state competitions and performances, including the Macy’s Parade at Universal Orlando, Florida Atlantic University football halftime and the Starz of the Future competition at the South Florida Fair.
To continue their path of gold medals, the Solid Gold Twirlers again need the support and generosity of the community. The team will host a garage sale Saturday, Nov. 3 from 7 a.m. to noon at 455 Folsom Road, Loxahatchee Groves. For more information, e-mail solidgoldtwirlerspg@gmail.com.
