Due to the high percentage for rain Wednesday morning, the decision has been made to move the Vernon All-Star Olympics to the Boys & Girls Club of Vernon. We are so thankful for the Boys & Girls Club offering to host our event in their two gyms. We would love to fill the stands in the gym with fans cheering on our all-star athletes. Tyson Foods will also be running a concession stand, with all proceeds going to the Vernon All-Star Olympics program.
(We apologize for no sound on the video.)
This morning Vernon Middle School teachers accepted the Speak Your Mind Ice Bucket Challenge from Vernon High School.
