Softball in Easton
There has been interest expressed about having a co-ed adult summer softball league. We haven’t hammered out all the details; rather we will have sponsored teams or just a “pick-up” league. Please let me know if you have interest in participating or know someone who might. We would like to begin this league in May and have it end on Field Days weekend (July 9). Any questions, call Hillary at 551-7737 or write to eastonrec@myfairpoint.net.
