Behind the Bib Series 🧷
As we continue our Behind the Bib Series, we’re highlighting the stories that make the Shake Up Shuffle such a meaningful part of our community.
Today’s feature is Becky Cantrell, whose story reflects tradition, connection, and the joy of showing up year after year.
Check out her story below👇🏼
Q: Why do you run the Shake Up Shuffle?
A: “I grew up in Plano, so the Sandwich Fair has always been something I look forward to. My husband and I moved to Sandwich and while raising our girls it became a much bigger deal: family time, the end of summer/kick off to fall, and just a great time connecting with people you only seem to see once a year when walking around the fairgrounds with a shake-up in your hands.
When a friend of mine first told me about the Shuffle we thought it would be a fun way to help raise a little money. We had so much fun we decided to walk a second year and now plan to participate annually. We may not cross the finish line quickly, but we are proud of ourselves that we cross it!”
From lifelong fair traditions to new memories made each year, Becky’s story is a reminder of how the Shake Up Shuffle brings people together in ways that go far beyond race day.
Stay tuned for more Behind the Bib stories as we continue to spotlight the ones who make this event so special.
