Sunday, July 20 at 4 p.m.— KILLINGTON — This Sunday friends and family are invited to celebrate the life of Kenneth, “Ken” or “KB,” Budzyna, at the Foundry at Summit Pond in Killington at 4 p.m.

A congenial host, consummate businessman, and former owner of two iconic Killington establishments, The Summit Lodge and The Grist Mill, Budzyna’s legacy lives on.

Come to celebrate and share stories as the community remembers this Killington icon.
