WARREN, Pa. – The Warren County Youth Baseball and Softball Association will be holding a work bee to get the fields prepped for the upcoming season on Saturday, April 2nd.
Participants are asked to meet at the Farm Colony at 9 a.m.
“It would be really nice if we could get some help from the community,” the WCYBSA said in a social media post. “We have over 600 kids registered in our league and only 14 board members. So more hands make less work, please come help for an hour or two. Thanks in advance.”
The WCYBSA gave the following example of the work that needs to be done just on Betts-Jackson and T-ball fields:
- Betts Jackson & T-ball
