SALISBURY — The Tri-State Chamber of Commerce presented the Salisbury Winter Sports Association with a check for $5,019.94 on Tuesday, July 9, at a decidedly non-wintry Satre Hill in Salisbury.

Behind Tri-State president Lisa Duntz and SWSA’s Peter Gilbert were the ski jumps. SWSA is raising $425,000 to rebuild the middle, 36-meter jump to line up with the big jump and the smallest jump.

That way, Gilbert said, SWSA will be able to better accommodate all ski jumpers.

SWSA is also installing a synthetic surface so ski jump instruction can be held year-round.

The group has raised about $200,000 thus far. The progress can be noted on the thermometer sign outside the Academy Building on Main Street.

The donated money is the proceeds from the Chamber’s annual golf tournament, the Murphy Open.

The next SWSA fundraiser is comedian Ronnie Reed’s “Friends from Work: 10 Years of Comedy” on Friday, July 26 at the Belted Cow at the Canaan Country Club. The show begins at 7 p.m., preceded by a one-hour open bar. Headlining the night of adult humor will be Jerrold Benford, joined by veteran comedians Anthony Zenhauser, Dan Geurin, Ronnie Reed and Corey Chapman.

For more information call the Canaan Country Club at 860-824-7683.
