Eighty school-aged athletes from six counties—Butte, Sutter, Yuba, Glenn, Tehama and Shasta—will attend the 10th annual Adapted Physical Education Sports Day held at California State University, Chico on Friday, Oct. 29.

Fifty activity stations, including a climbing wall, wheelchair specific sports, skill-development games and many other fun activities make up the sporting atmosphere for the athletes.
