In the 1700's we fought with Washington to be free
And more great leaders in the 19th and 20th century
Like Jefferson, Jackson and Lincoln to name a few
And Grant, two Roosevelts and Truman too.
(We've had a few duds--you all know who.)
Now we're in the 21st century and heroes are harder to find.
But there's one among us that I have in mind.
He encourages everyone to have an active part
As he promotes all sports, education and art.
He inspires us to volunteer our time and our heart.
Everyone calls him "Wid"--his name is Erik Widmark!

The Grand Canyon State Games is a multi-sport Olympic Festival providing a showcase for the talents and aspirations for Arizona and America's youth regardless of age or ability and to share many of the great attributes of our state. In fact we have had a 3 year old come down the mountain in our Winter skiing event and a 99 year old gentleman throw the javelin in our Track & Field event. We truly have something for everyone.
