Diamonds Are A Girls Best Friend - A Fundraiser to help Veterans Park "Sparkle"

Friends of the Park was so excited when Crystal Posey approached us with the idea for this Alumni Softball Game.  She is so very clever and energetic and we are proud to be the sponsoring organization.

Plans are in the making for sometime this fall.  You can keep up with what is going on with this fun event by "liking" the fan page - see badge to the right.  You are also invited to post any pictures of the PHS Lady Bulldogs in action on the fields at Veterans Park!

Thank you, Crystal, for Stepping Up To The Plate for Veterans Park!
