Champlain Valley Union's Cameron Fitzgerald, Konnor Fleming, Eric Palmer, and Vermont coach and CVU head football coach Jim Provost will report for a nine-day training camp at Kimball Union Academy in New Hampshire this week in preparation for the Shrine Maple Sugar Bowl. The 58th annual All Star competition of recently graduated seniors between Vermont and New Hampshire will be held Aug. 6 at 2:30 p.m. at Windsor High School for the third straight year.

The first Twin State contest, the Shrine football game, was held in 1954. The wildly popular event used to draw over 20,000 fans and raise anywhere from $50 to $100,000 for the Shriners Hospitals for Children. Last year nearly 4,000 fans were in attendance and the event generated $30,000 in donations for the hospitals.
