During the Annual Conference of the Virginia Recreation and Park Society, Orange County ’ s Parks and Recreation Department received an award in the Snapshot Moment, Population 25,001 - 50,000 category. The winning ‘ snapshot ’ was from the annual Turkey Toss, Disc Golf Tournament that was founded in 2019. COVID - 19 posed difficult challenges in 2020, but Orange County ’ s Parks and Recreation department knew that the disc golf tournament would bring the community together. The winning picture included the Flight 2 champions, Darren Jones and Jeremy Butterfield, with their trophies, masks, and perseverance. The spirit of the Turkey Toss proved to the Virginia Recreation and Park Society Awards and Citations Committee that a sense of community is essential even during the most difficult times.
