POLL: How is the Avon High School Emergency Shelter?

Take our poll below.

As 22 percent of Avon remains without power as of 1:14 a.m. on Tuesday, over a week since the unusual October snowstorm, hundreds are cycling through the Avon High School shelter, making it their home away from home.

The shelter is now averaging about 50 people staying overnight.

They have been serving food in the Avon High School cafeteria and now they are showing movies from Sleeping Beauty to Harry Potter there, as well. Medical staff is there to help, as well.
