Don’t miss end of tee-ball season

By Jimmy Chesire

Friday, July 30, is the ninth week of Perry League’s ten-week summer 2004 tee-ball season. Next week, Aug. 6, will be our final night, the night of our potluck wiener roast, the night when we give a Perry League trophy to every single child who shows up, even if it is his or her very first night of play.

So put us on your calendars and come on out. We’d love to have you. And should you not be able to make it to Gaunt Park on that last night of play, let us know because “we deliver!” You can call Jimmy Chesire at 767-7300, Chris Murphy at 767-7408 or Adrienne Chesire at 767-7127. We’d be happy to get a trophy to you and your kid once you get back into town.
