Thank you:
Each week the activities department will highlight a group of people who help make our activities department run. This week we would like to thank our fans! This weekend was a great example of how our fans play such a big role in our activities department. The bleachers were packed and the energy was amazing. The kids feel it when you show up and are loud and proud! The gate that we take in from our events helps to pay for maintaining or upgrading our equipment. We could not have an activities department without you!
