FOX RIVER GROVE, Ill. -- Saturday marked the return of a highly anticipated winter competition in Fox River Grove.
The annual Norge Ski Jump is taking off Saturday. It's back this year at full capacity after COVID-19 restrictions.Norge Ski Club President Scott Smith joined ABC7 to discuss an exciting look ahead. There are five jumps available for kids as young as four years old as well as adults to use. Smith said 6,000 to 8,000 people are expected to show up for Saturday's junior competition event.
The program has four Olympians this year, three from the Fox River Grove area, the same as in 2018, Smith said. Still, attendees don't need to be skiing experts. "It's a great time for the spectators to watch the event," Smith said."There's a lot of food and drink and it's a party atmosphere and people love to see these ski jumpers fly far."
