BURLINGTON, Vt. — Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) on Saturday will bring Vermonters together for three youth basketball events in Springfield, Bennington, and Rutland. Each event will include a free throw competition that is open to Vermonters ages 5-18, regardless of skill level or background. RSVPs are encouraged to save a spot. All youth participants will receive a free basketball.
