Our juniors had a great showing at the 2021 Eastern Regional Championships in Avon, CT. There were 59 junior competitors. The Avon Old Farms Skiers put on a fantastic junior’s party onsite at the Pond, with treats and activities including pizza, snow cones, popcorn, water mats, trampoline, movie night, and lots of fun for everyone. The raffle raised close to $800 for the Eastern Region Junior Development Program.
