MEET DARCY
Darcy Poppema has loved King Turkey Day for as long as she can remember and considers it a great privilege to be the Captain of the KTD Race Team for 2024. She served on the KTD Board of Directors from 2016 – 2022 and last year helped bring the Traveling Turkey Trophy of Tumultuous Triumph back to Worthington as one of Paychecks Handlers on the 2023 KTD Race Team. She is married to husband,Todd Poppema and they raised their 4 kids – Dustin, Amanda, Matthew, and Colton here in Worthington, where she has been a Childcare Provider for 34 years. Her greatest joys are spending time with friends and family, especially her 8 grandchildren. While the whole weekend of KTD is tons of fun, her favorite part was being able to hear the roars of laughter and witness the kids' excitement when the Race Teams and Mascots visited their schools. Let's go Paycheck!!
