Need a Summer Job? We are Looking for Volunteers!

PLEASE CHECK THIS SITE FREQUENTLY; TIMES CHANGE DUE TO WEATHER AND EQUIPMENT AVAILABILITY.... Thank you

We have started the field division in the upper field and are preparing to move into the lower field. We have about two hours of work left on the upper field that involves removing the dirt and substrate from the facility. It is this substrate that was underneath the diamond dust that needs to be preserved. We have been stockpiling this into the outer field for use in that area, and will be transfering all of the good dirt from the outfield "cut" into the new infield within the next week.

Below are the times we expect to be doing this work. All of these times are of course dependant on weather, but once you have contacted us we will gladly call you if there are any changes.

However, if you are in the area and just want to help on any of these days and times, please stop by. If you have equipment that can be useful, please contact me at;
