"In addition to the impressive economic impact, the games will offer York County an opportunity to showcase the area's academic institutions and the community," said Anne Druck, president of the York County Convention & Visitors Bureau. "The games will bring student athletes and their families to York County, many of whom may never have visited the area for another reason. The event exposes them to York so that they might consider the area as a place to further their academic career, to work and to live or simply enjoy visiting again."

The Keystone Games are Pennsylvania's largest athletic festival. Modeled after the Olympic games, the event consists of multi-sport competitions providing Pennsylvania's amateur athletes an opportunity to compete against athletes from throughout the Commonwealth in the Summer Games, Winter Sports Festival and the Pennsylvania Senior Games.

Between 15,000 and 20,000 people are expected to attend the games, which will be held at a number of venues in the York area, including local high schools, colleges and the York Expo Center.

History Of The Marathon

Chesapeake College was founded in 1965 as the state of Maryland's 1st regional junior college. The School was developed to serve the needs of the middle and upper Eastern Shore.

The college member of the University Colleges of Technology, Alfred State shares resources and is linked by state-of-the-art distance learning equipment to other state Colleges of Technology, giving students an even broader range of options and opportunities.

Research conducted by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) has found that nicotine addiction seems to be linked to increased craving for illegal drugs among drug abusers who also smoke tobacco.

One other possible theory regarding its origin is that when the aforementioned "mob football" was being played in the British Isles in the early centuries A.D., a very similar game was thriving in France, particularly in Normandy and Brittany. So it is quite feasible that the Normans brought this form of the game to England with them.
