See Flyer for the 2006 Connecticut Tree Climbing Competition

On May 21, 2005, the first Connecticut Tree Climbing Competition was held.  Due largely to the efforts of Greg Lukos, lead organizer and original conceiver of the idea, and Larry Dvorsky, head judge and technical liaison, 16 competitors (14 men and 2 women) arrived at Heritage Village in Southbury on that Saturday morning to learn, to share and to compete. It was a fun day.  

The winner of the competition was Jeff  Perotti of Sharon.  Jeff is now entered as the Connecticut representative in the New England Tree Climbing Championship, to be held on June 4th in Burlington , Vermont.  

The full tally of the Results of the Competition is below, along with 5 pages of attached Pictures.  In addition to Greg and Larry,  thanks are also due to the Sponsors who supported this competition, both with people and with funding, the Judges, who also generously gave up their time to turn out, and individuals, including Susan Stotts of Lewis Tree, who designed the t-shirt; Jeff Ward, who took pictures; Bryan Happ and Paul Baukus, who manned the computers and designed the computerized score-keeping; and Rocco Massaro, who, along with Eric Brito and Jose Fuentes did yeoman service setting lines and prepping the trees for competition as well as helping collect items from the trees when the competition was over.  A big thanks, too, to the crew at Heritage Village, who gave up their day off to help make the day work.  

It was a great day and sure to be the start of a Connecticut tradition!
