It was great to meet and talk to the athletes as they gathered for a break from their competitions.  Our brother Chris McAvoy won three gold medals in powerlifting while reaching his personal best of 215 lbs. in the deadlift.

Congratulations to Chris and all the athletes who competed at the Fall Festival. “Thank you” to the volunteers who make the Fall Festival a great experience annually, and to Steve Puccino for coordinating!
