With a huge crowd gathered around and cheering him on, McDonald consumed the entire bowl of frozen yogurt provided by the Simsbury TCBY. 'This was one of my toughest challenges, I am proud to say I have completed it,' said Jamie McDonald.

Seedlings from the large oak tree were planted in many places throughout Connecticut."
