The people working behind the scenes to get ready for opening day were beaming with pride Saturday morning. The weather was beautiful, the fields looked amazing, everyone was at the ready and the games began at 9:00 am sharp! We are so thankful for all the support. We've made quite a few changes this year and as to be expected we've still got some kinks to iron out. Your feedback has been invaluable. And the excitement in the air felt great. We did want to let everyone know of a few things that we are looking into.
GOODY BAGS
If your little leaguer did not pick up his/her goody bag on Saturday please let your coach know so we can make arrangements to get them all delivered.
 |
| The Goody Bags included: A Dick's Water Bottle, LL Patch, LL magazine and a shout out to our Platinum Sponsors. Thanks to Shawn and Jenny McHolland for getting the goody bags ready for the big day. |
CONCESSIONS
• We will be testing out a new location for the small concession stand near the back T-ball fields. Seems like the 4-H building was not as convenient as we had hoped.
• We will also be trying to figure out a way to get HOT FOOD closer to the ball fields. We have logistical things we need to work out. We also need to ensure we are following food safety code.
• We need volunteers! Please email Cathy Hoehn if you are interested in signing up for certain time slots.

| Thank You Williamstown Kiwanis for the FREE Hot Dogs and Hamburgers to all our Little League players and for their help at the main concession stand all day. |

THE BALL FIELDS
• Jamey LOVED the freshly chalked lines on the ball fields for the first games. He would love to have more volunteers on hand to help him chalk between games. Right now that's not possible but YOU can help us make that happen.
• If you are interested in helping with any type of field maintenance please let us know. We will gladly work with your schedule. Please email Jamey Lewis

PICTURE SLIDESHOW
• We've seen a few of your fabulous photos of the big day and we have a few ourselves. I'm willing to put all the photos together in a slide show that I can share on this blog. If you are willing to include your photos in this slideshow please email Sheila Lewis. The sooner we get photos the sooner I can get them posted for everyone to enjoy!

| A BIG thanks to Kona Ice for spending the day with us. |

ReplyDeleteThe fields were in great shape thanks to all the work. Weather was great and enjoyed watching all the kids on their first Tball game! There sure are some great players out there.
