Shrine puts game back in Windsor
STAFF REPORT
WINDSOR — “The Board of Governors of the Shrine Maple Sugar Bowl, at its October meeting, voted to hold the 2010 football game at Windsor High School. It will be the second year in a row that Windsor will be the site for the event and the third time that the game has been played in Vermont. The 57th annual Shrine Maple Sugar Bowl will be played Aug. 7.”
“There were several other towns and schools that extended bids for the 2010 game and the Board of Governors indicated that the cost of putting on the game, while a factor, was not the deciding one. “The bids submitted by the other locations were all very close to Windsor’s” Board President David Lovell. said “What it came down to was location, community support and proven game attendance. Windsor had all three going for it.” Attendance at the 2009 game at Windsor High School was the best seen by the Shrine in five years. The crowd for the pregame parade was estimated to be the largest in over a decade. Donations from the Windsor business community and from the sale of souvenirs was well up over past years. “Altogether, Windsor has earned the right to host the 2010 game and we look forward to going back, Lovell said.” Windsor High School has a limited number of seats for football, but that will again be supplemented by portable bleachers rented from Dartmouth College. “
