Local organizers in Atlantic have put together plans for a welcome home celebration for Brandon Baier this weekend.  Baier is participating in the Special Olympics World Games in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates.

Brandon will be arriving home Saturday March 23 and organizers are planning a caravan and presentation.  Local supporters are asked to meet at the LDS church east of Atlantic at the intersection of Highways 6 and 71 before 10:30 am.  Brandon will be met by an Atlantic fire truck for a ride and caravan into town.  They will head to the Nishna Valley Family YMCA for a welcome home reception.

The 27 year old Baier participated in Track & Field at the Special Olympics USA Games in Seattle last July, earning a gold medal and qualifying for the World Games.

Brandon won a bronze medal in the Shot Put earlier this week and will compete in the 100 meter dash and the 4 x 100 meter relay yet this week.

All are welcome and encouraged to turn out Saturday to show support for Brandon on his accomplishments!
