Some slightly aging and somewhat inactive muscles will be stretched to the limit this Friday night for a great cause in our community. Come out to the old ballpark at Rotary Field in Stuart this Friday evening, Apr. 24th, and help "Strike Out Cancer"! Yes, get involved in the war on cancer and have a fun evening with your family and friends. Attend a benefit softball game to raise funds in the Patrick County's American Cancer Society Relay for Life campaign.
The opening ceremony will involve Boy Scout Troop #65, Pastor David Freeman, and Rachel and Holly Williams. The ladies' game at 6:00 p.m. will pit "The Pink Panthers" team (inspector Clouseau would be so proud of Amy Fain, Sandra Heath, and their teammates) against "The Purple Power" team the purple pride of Patrick County. The men's game at 7:00 p.m. will be a hard-fought battle of Paul Bunyon-like ballplayers as "The Hardwoods" go against "The Tree Toppers". In the consolation game to follow, Wilbur Walker's Patrick Henry VA-Carolina Seniors will try to keep pace with the junior sluggers, playing one of the men's teams in the nightcap. The evening will bring some highly competitive softball action and undoubtedly lots of laughs as well. Admission is only $2...Food and drinks will be sold by the Hilltop Hustlers for a Cure Relay for Life Team. Great family entertainment at a bargain price! All proceeds will go to Patrick County's Relay for Life efforts to help find a cure for cancer and fund programs and survives for local cancer survivors and caregivers.
Thanks to the teams which will include several Patrick County High School alumni softball players and past Patrick County Recreation League players as well as many other avid softball enthusiasts in the community. For more information call Sandra Heath, Annette Freeman or Jessica Slate at 694-2707. Now "PLAY BALL"!
