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.

Yesterday afternoon, members of the Vernon Police Department presented a donation to the Vernon All-Star Olympics to some of our Vernon Middle School All-Star Olympic athletes.

The Vernon All-Star Olympics will be held Wednesday, April 30, at Leo Brittain Field at Lion Stadium.
