If you follow the hit TV show "American Ninja Warrior," you know that a contestant named Joe Moravsky aka "The Weatherman" has been tearing it up on the show the last two seasons. What you may not know is that he is a local guy!

Joe is from Sherman and got his "Weatherman" nickname from the fact that he has a degree in meteorology from Western Connecticut State University.  This season, he made it all the way to the final round of the show before the "hang climb" obstacle stopped him.  (No one "won" the show this year by beating all the obstacles, but Joe went further than anyone else in the contest.)

Joe will be at the Sherman IGA this Saturday to thank his local fans and friends for all of their support through this season of the show.  He'll be hanging out from 11-3 signing autographs and taking pictures, and there will be hot dogs and drinks as well.

Joe vows he'll be back next year and plans on winning it all. We'll be cheering him on all the way!
