Millsite Golf Course hosted the Clint Conover Memorial Golf Tournament on Saturday. Conover passed away in an avalanche on Feb. 9 near Miller Flat, leaving his wife Megan and their five children behind.
Even with the wind blowing and a chill in the air, there was a large turnout for the tournament with 33 teams with three golfers per team. Those in attendance withstood the weather in order to show support for the Conover family.
