Good morning baseball fans. I apologize for the parking confusion during baseball games. The American Legion has started charging for parking. I was unaware that this was going to happen. They are trying to raise money to pave their parking lot. The Legion is very supportive of our sports teams so please contribute to this project if you can. There is also free parking at the high school soccer field.
