    By Jimmy ChesireAugust 10, 2017

    More than 50 kids and 150 adults celebrated another summer of Perry League T-ball at last Friday night’s end-of-summer potluck.

    Thank you, all you children, all you kids, all you rapscallions, who come play with us. We are grateful to you and hope to see you all here, there, everywhere, as we plan to do this all over again next summer.

  • A muddlicious time at T-ball

    By Jimmy ChesireJuly 20, 2017
