Town and Park Board to Host “Park Appreciation Day” this Thursday

The Town of Ferdinand along with the Ferdinand Park Board will hold Park Appreciation Day on Thursday, June 6, at the 5th Street Park in conjunction with the Forest Park Youth Sports (baseball) and Ferdinand Girls Softball games, beginning at 6 p.m. on all fields.

“This is one small way for us to honor all of the kids, the parents, and, particularly, all of the volunteers that make our youth baseball and softball seasons successful and enjoyable for all the kids that play and for all those that attend,” said Marc Steczyk, Ferdinand’s Town Manager. “Countless volunteer hours are spent on both the boys’ and girls’ fields to make them what they are–some of the best fields in all of southern Indiana.”

Ceremonial first pitches will be thrown out by representatives from the companies that sponsor each field and members of the Ferdinand Town Council and staff will be grilling and handing out free hot dogs.
