Two-time Olympic skier and Vermonter Doug Lewis is coming to Pittsfield's Roger Clark Memorial Library to hold a fun physical fitness clinic for the whole family.

Since retiring from Ski Racing Doug and his wife, Kelley, have run ELITEAM conditioning camps in the summer for young athletes ages 8-16. He is bringing his high energy and exercises to share with the young and old athletes of the Pittsfield area. Not only will everyone have a great time, Doug will teach the group about physical fitness and training. In addition, he will share some of his stories of the Olympics with everyone.

The clinic and fun is open to all abilities and ages. You are encouraged to wear sneakers and either shorts or sweatpants. The group will start with some flexibility training, move on to some agility training, then the fun Obstacle course. Again, this is geared towards the kids, but all ages and abilities are welcome and invited to participate. September 11th at 6pm.

The library will be open, so come by early and find something to read.
