Skydiving Team Wins Grand Prize For Horizontal Snowflake
A New England skydiving team led by Don Mayer of New Hampshire won the Meet Director's Trophy in Zephyr Hills Florida over Thanksgiving weekend. Ian MacDonald of Shaftsbury and teammates claimed the top 20 man star formation though weather prevented full diamond pattern. The group finished eighth overall among 652 teams, with a caution on safety and the need for precise formation before opening chutes. Local calendar notes list Dorset events including church poinsettia orders, Thetford Parish plays, and Christmas activities through Sunday.
