Penobscot Valley Athletic Conference Thanks The First

Thanks to the generosity of First National Bank, the Student Leadership Summit takes place each year, bringing together 36 schools from the Penobscot Valley Athletic Conference (PVC)

At the Student Leadership Conference, the PVC has been able to provide a leadership session each year, with Rob Miller from Proactive Coaching. He has been able to lead 300 plus student-athletes to develop their leadership styles and improve team standards, all the while becoming better leaders within their respective schools.

The PVC recognized Tony McKim on Tuesday, February 25th at the Cross Insurance Center. McKim, the CEO of The First has been instrumental in supporting the PVC, the member schools and student athletes.

15 Must-Have Items For Ice Fishing Season In Maine

Ice fishing is an excellent way to embrace the cold winter months in Maine. It will get you outdoors for some fresh air, it's family friendly, and a successful day could yield a tasty dinner. If you're new to the sport, we put together a list of gear you'll need for a fun, comfortable, and successful day on the ice. Some of these items are more essential than others. Some gear may not be essential at all, depending on how you plan to fish. Again, the items we listed are geared towards those who are new to ice fishing.

Before we get to the list, remember to dress appropriately for the cold weather. We didn't put warm outerwear on the list, but it's definitely a must-have. Dressing in layers is important to ensure you're warm enough throughout the day on the ice. If you start getting too warm, you can simply take a layer off. Hand warmers are also worth packing.
