Montgomery, NY 12549
6:00 to 9:00 pm

All Division One place-winners (First through Sixth), all Division Two place-winners (First through Fourth) and all Girls Division medal winners will be receiving certificates at this year’s dinner.
The Friends of Section 9 Board of Directors agree with the responses we have received from many parents that our wrestlers deserve an official banquet to celebrate the historical season we just completed. The bad news is that fees for a banquet of this nature have increased since the last time we were able to do this in 2020. We understand that the cost may be prohibitive to some but we want you to now that this is what we are being charged and we are not looking to make money on the event. We will be purchasing the special awards that will be presented and the fees collected will go directly to the venue for food and rental of the facility.
The cost per person will be: $50
Menu includes: Hot Items: Penne a la Vodka, Sliced Flank Steak, Breast of Chicken Parm, Chicken Tenders, Curly Fries. Cold Items: Cesar Salad, tomato-Pesto Bruschetta, Fresh fruit and berry salad, freshly baked sliced assorted breads. A dessert medley, soft drinks, coffee and tea.
