McDaniel College announced plans to spend $1.7 million to renovate its outdoor track and field facility at Kenneth R. Gill Stadium.

The announcement was made Nov. 2 before the college’s homecoming football game against Ursinus.

The $1.7 million renovation, which will be donor-funded, is slated to begin in spring 2025 and will be completed in the fall. [The Daily Record]


On Monday, Sam Harper and Sara Burgess, who both live in Lebanon, spent the afternoon alternating between working in The Notch climbing gym’s work area and “playing” on the climbing walls.

Both said they have so far enjoyed the climbing and the facility, which sits on LaBombard Road near Dartmouth Coach and held a rope-cutting opening ceremony Friday.

“It’s a major upgrade from what the Upper Valley used to have,” Burgess said, referring to the now-closed Green Mountain Rock Climbing Center in Quechee. [VNews]


The Village of Estero wants to add more space for a new sports facility along Williams Road at Estero High School for anyone to be able to use.

They're looking to do that by utilizing parts of the Estero Rec Center, which is right next to the school.

First, the vote is in the Lee County Commissioners' hands today.

Three ballfields and two buildings on 25 acres worth of land. That's the amount the Village of Estero is looking to purchase from the rec center. [NBC 2]
