As Polar Bear Jump Nears,

Silent Auction Fans Fill Gym

On behalf of their nephew, beneficiary Kiony Fernandez, Jennifer and Conway Bishop of Cherry Valley participate in today’s Silent Auction, a fundraiser for the Goodyear Lake Polar Bear Jump upcoming Saturday, Feb. 18. As usual, hundreds of participants from as far away at St. Johnsville and Schenectady came to the Milford Central School gym to bid on hundreds of offerings. At right, Kiony, 21 months, who is legally blind due to Optic Nerve Hypoplasia, sleeps in grandmother Cindy Borchert’s arms. (Jim Kevlin/AllOTSEGO.com)
