Last weekend was opening day for the Youth Baseball program and it was opened in great style: with a parade! Our young athletes were led by Mayor Floyd in the mini-fire truck and the Decatur High School Band drumline. Superior Chevrolet, our sponsor, participated as did the Decatur Red Hatters. Former Negro League Baseball Player, Larry Williams of the Kansas City Monarchs threw the first pitch.

The event, which ran from 6:00 a.m. on Friday, April 29, 2011 to 6:00 p.m. on Sunday, May 1, 2011 drew large numbers of people to the Krispy Kreme store. Many of these young ladies volunteered before and after their lacrosse game. The mission of the Law Enforcement Torch Run® for Special Olympics is to raise funds for and awareness of the Special Olympics movement worldwide.

Not all kids want to sit home and play video games. Stop by Decatur Recreation Center and you will see kids in the gym, in the halls, in the lobby waiting for their basketball practice. 
Not only are these kids on time for practice but they often come early and stay late, just in case there is a little extra time to shoot around. We are HAPPY and EXCITED to see kids being ACTIVE.
