The 2018 awards banquet, which takes place next month on Monday, June 18th at the Bayfront Convention Center in Erie, PA, is a way to say thank you to the thousands of outstanding high school athletes, coaches and fans who allow Erie Times-News/GoErie.com to share their stories, performances, and passions.

All of us at Logistics Plus are proud to be associated with the Best of Varsity Cup for a second consecutive year, and we are honored to recognize these outstanding local athletes,” said Jim Berlin, founder and CEO of Logistics Plus. “Their dedication, hard work, and passion for excellence are traits that we all admire and share here at Logistics Plus.

Berlin added, “We look forward to welcoming Hines Ward as this year’s guest speaker. However, as a lifelong Bills fan, I’d also like to convey my sincere prayers and wishes to Jim Kelly and the Kelly family for his continuing recovery.

LP Employees in Lake Erie Cyclefest’s Super Mario Indoor Bike Race

LEC-Super-Mario-Indoor-BikeWe hope you’re free next Monday evening, May 7, to join LP employees Tim Scharf, Ryan McGregor, Kelly Dempsey, and Owen Rader (Holly‘s husband) at the Brewerie for the city’s first-ever indoor bicycle race. They’ll be racing against world-class cyclist Mario Mazza – seriously don’t ask how they got roped into this one – but they really need a cheering section. The night will be a lot of fun and everyone there will have a chance to win two passes to Buffalo’s Skyride with an overnight stay at the Westin Hotel.

This is not a fundraiser – it’s a happy hour for good friends to get together, enjoy some craft beer and build awareness for Lake Erie Cyclefest.

  • May 7, from 5:30 to 7 pm
  • The Brewerie at Union Station
