Opening Day Ceremonies!


It's that time of the year again. Spring is here, mornings are bright, and Little League season has started. The fields have been cut and lined. Teams front and centered with hats off for the National Anthem. Oh say can you see......? Tee -ballers excited just to have their uniforms on. Farm league with the confidence of having been here before. Minor Leaguers with their batting gloves as a show of experienced glory. Major Leaguers eager for what may be their final season.

Our honorable Mayor threw out the first pitch after a hearty message to parents about being involved in our childrens lives....thus offering the hopes of a better future for them and for us.

Teams took team and individual photos. Lines wrapped around the wall for the concession stand. Raffle names and number were called out, with retorting shouts from winners. Opening Day Ceremonies....there is nothing like it.

We had a one last delightful treat......Herbie won the Hit-a-thon for 8 years old! I can't say that I have ever seen him quite this pleased with himself. Quite nice to see your children learn that when they work hard and do their best.....they will hit the mark.

Today's mark was 186 feet.
