Hello everyone!
If you haven't been out to McRae Park in Forest this season, you probably haven't noticed the new infield. The new smooth clay infield is much safer for our children. The previous grass infield was very unpredictable & was not able to accommodate teams under the 13u age level. We are now able to host tournaments & playoffs for the younger age groups, with 2 diamonds @ one location. We took on this project last fall & it turned out to be a lot more costly & a lot more time consuming, than initially anticipated.
We would like to give a HUGE THANK YOU to the following local businesses for there time, equipment, & material:
Birnam Excavating Ltd. (trucking of 3 loads of clay dirt from Bright On.)
Wellington Builders (donating a mini Ex. with operator for removal of grass & top soil)
VanBree Sand & Gravel Ltd. (donating drainage sand for the base)
MacKenzie & Henderson Ltd. (trucking the sand to Forest)
These local businesses were MORE THAN GENEROUS to help our Baseball association in the way that they did!
The Municipality of Lambton Shores also contributed HUGE for this project. The Parks & Rec crew had to do more of the work than initially planned. Thanks to all of the municipal employees that contributed to this project.
Last but not least, we need to thank Cordelio Power for making this grant available to us for our community projects.
THANK YOU on behalf of all the board members, coaches, parents, & most importantly, the kids that love to play this game!
