Stubborn luminaries did not dampen the spirits of determined silent sports fans for the fifth annual Candlelight Ski Event sponsored by Friends of Stower Seven Lakes State Trail. There was an enthusiastic turnout and many just gathered around the fire or pavilion sipping on hot chocolate and cider.
