It’s time to “PLAY BALL!”

By John T. Ryan

June 1 – The Peru Youth Commission is holding its Annual Early Bird Baseball Tournament today. Parents and children filled the Laphams Mills Recreation Park at 9 am to participate in and view the opening ceremonies. Over 300 young people ages 5-15 will be members of 23 teams.

Youth Director John Flynn thanked the community for its strong support of youth programs. He gave a special thanks to the local businesses, service organizations, the Peru Town Board, parents and volunteer coaches who so generously support the program.

Youth Commission Chairman Greg Mills thanked everyone for their assistance especially the volunteer members of the Peru Youth Commission.

John Flynn closed the ceremonies by inviting several members of Peru Central School’s successful boys and girls baseball/softball teams to throw the season’s first pitches. Flynn said they all had participated in Peru’s summer sports programs during their earlier years.
