It's almost time for the Simsbury Football Jamboree.
This year's version of the multi-team scrimmage will take place on Wednesday at 3:30 p.m. at Simsbury High School. The participants are host Simsbury, Gilbert/Northwestern, Avon, Tolland, and Westfield (Mass.). Read more about this year's Jamboree here.
Last year, Gilbert/Northwestern and Simsbury were the local teams that took part in the Jamboree. Avon missed the first two practices that week because of Tropical Storm Irene and elected not to attend the scrimmages.

WORTH NOTING: Area football fans will have to wait until Oct. 13 to see 'GN' and Avon face off. The Yellowjackets and Falcons will not face each other in the Jamboree on Wednesday, according to Simsbury head coach Jeff Osborne. Avon hosts 'GN' at 6:30 on Saturday, Oct. 13. The Yellowjackets have won the last two meetings between the two teams.
