by Jennifer Gunsch
For a cost of five dollars a person, area fourth through eighty graders
will have the opportunity to participate in a baseball sponsored "Kids
Night Out" on Friday from 5-10 at McAlister Gym. These kids will be able
to play with children their own age in activities like basketball, volleyball,
Nintendo, ping-pong, movies and other fun-packed activities.
The Baseball team is sponsoring this once a month "Kids Night Out" in
order to maintain the desired community/college relationship that presently
exists, and to raise money for their needed expenses. Baseball Coach Darin
Chaplain stated, "it gives the kids an opportunity to have good clean fun, and
it allows kids to come onto the campus who might otherwise never venture
up here."
