UPDATE ON OSTRICH JOCKEY INJURED AT FESTIVAL

Chandler, AZ (March 18, 2009) – The ostrich jockey that was injured at the 2009 Ostrich Festival last weekend is doing great and has no complications. Megan Vincent, 27, of Nickerson, KS, was injured during the 2 p.m. Ostrich Race on Saturday, March 14^th at the Ostrich Festival which took place at Tumbleweed Park in Chandler.

Ms. Vincent was transported directly from the race to Chandler Regional Hospital. She was released later that night with no serious injuries.

“Megan is doing great. She looks great and even helped drive some of the way home on Sunday,” stated Joe Hedrick. Hedrick is in charge of the races and also emcee’s each race.

Hedrick mentioned that Vincent has been with his group for the last year and has probably raced 30-40 ostriches in that time. Vincent and her husband ride and train horses for a living as well.

The 2009 Ostrich Festival took place March 13-15, 2009 at Tumbleweed Park. The Ostrich Festival is produced by the Chandler Chamber of Commerce, www.chandlerchamber.com.
