Other Important Stuff
We are enjoying the new scoreboard, made possible by a generous donation from Whirlpool. Phil Harbolt of Harbolt Electrical & Alarms, a longtime annual team sponsor, provided the labor, materials, and know how to remove the old scoreboard, install the new one and get it up and running.
Our ground crew provided some needed help. Speaking of
our ground crew, we were able to convince the Marion Parks Dept. to let us mow the field and do the pre-game field preparation for every game night. They in turn were willing
to reduce our game fees by almost 70%. That is a savings to
us of close to $1500 for this season. Thanks to our ground
crew for their faithful service and efforts, Bigford ball field
has never looked better.
