Welcoming Our Central New York Olympians Home

We watched, we cheered, we groaned, we LIVED the Olympic experience vicariously through the efforts of Erin Hamlin, Maddie Phaneuf, and other New York State athletes who competed at the 2018 Winter Games in South Korea.

There are welcome home parties and receptions going on in Central New York communities for our local heroes. Here are the details of those events in honor of Hamlin and Phaneuf:
