Hello all
This past Saturday, CRNA teamed up with ADK Treks (http://adktreks.org/) from North Creek, NY to host a Paintball Biathlon Fundraiser at Garnet Hill Lodge and XC Ski Center….For those of you who have skied Garnet Hill, the range was set up to the right of the XC ski bldg, a short loop went around the bldg with a 1 KM loop going to and from the tailings. The event included a mass start format, hot dog lunch (not as good as Betty’s!), hayrides, and a hike to Hooper Garnet Mine. The weather was in the low-mid 40’s with intermittent snow…yes SNOW!!! We were cheering, there was fist pumping and hugging going on….then there was the event
There were 20 youth, adults and 5 midwifes from NYC….all who attended have never laughed so hard at well dressed professional women participating in a Autumn PBB event. BTY…the 5 ladies did a sprint format hitting an ave. of 8!!!! Take that Ole. The youth who initially thought it would be combat PBB soon realized the difference and embraced it 100%. Safe, serious but fun oriented
$300 was raised for ADK Treks and CRNA….besides registration $ a Nordic raffle took place which garnered much interest and ticket buying….As CRNA continues to expand its offering to Wounded Warriors and youth with disabilities (or diverse abilities) the collected money will help keep fees at zero to none
Heartfelt Appreciation to Don and Mindy at Garnet Hill-wonderful Hosts,Merriam Ins Agency for their financial support, Julie West and KellyNessle from ADK Treks, parents, volunteers and most of all, a wonderful group of young competitors…all want to do it again
