Maine SkillsUSA Championships

Last fall I was approached about chairing the Maine SkillsUSA Championships in Outdoor recreation this year. The SkillsUSA Championships is a showcase of America’s skilled career and technical education students. It’s also one of the largest hands-on workforce development events in the world. The state competition is scheduled to be held in Bangor in the middle of March and will take a morning.

The only minor hiccup was a bit of water on the ice due to the warm temperatures and some rain the night before. But it was just enough to make us slosh as we walked around.

I am checking a few things first how thick the ice is (about 6 inches everywhere I checked), is there a cleared parking space and finally is it crowded. A couple on my list while not remote are secluded and are usually not busy.
