Newtown’s Ghent wins Spin-A-Thon

On May 3 the Masuk High School Color Guard team held its first annual Spin-A-Thon fund-raiser.

Competitors spun flags for as long as they could and there were winners in three different classes. The color guard class winner was Brandan Ghent of Newtown.

Ghent did a basic spin called “drop spins” for an hour and 10 minutes and received a $100 Westfield Shopping Centers gift card.

Several of the participants won prizes that were donated by area businesses, including McGowen’s Pizza, All About Art, Big Y, Stop and Shop, National Amusement and Rolly Polly.
