Salmon Creek Little League All Stars

Won and Won in State Tournament So Far.

IMPORTANT UPDATE: It seems as though we can’t trust the State Little League Website (our original source for this story). In the comment below, Tracy, who is one of the most respected hyper-local bloggers on the planet, notes the errors on the State website, and confirmation via the WSLL twitter stream. Despite this state site snafu, (click bracket image I pulled from State site, right) we’re still proud of the boys from the ‘Creek and we’ll battle back in the other bracket. Follow us for updates on the games and schedules along the way.  Thanks, Tracy! (ed.)

Salmon Creek All Stars

Field of Dreams.

HB Fuller Park is the place for the 2009 District 6 All Star Baseball Tournament.  For Salmon Creek Little League All Stars, it is the Field of Dreams.

This year, all three age divisions of Salmon Creek Little League are playing in the District 6 All Star Championship Games.  Wow!

So come on out and support our neighborhood boys as they play for the Championship.  Not only is it free, but it is so enjoyable to watch a bunch of talented kids playing baseball “for the love of the game.”  Watching the other fans comes in a close second though!

Here is the schedule for the District 6 Championship Games:

Major Baseball (11/12 year olds) Saturday, July 11 at 11:30 a.m.
10/11 Year Old Baseball Friday,  July 10 at 8:00 p.m.
9/10 Year Old Baseball Saturday, July 11 at 9:00 a.m.

“For it’s root, root, root for the home team…”

And the Rockets Red Glare…

Won’t Be Bursting In Air Tonight.

As of 11 pm last night, setting off fireworks is illegal, and this time we are not talking about the brand illegal, we’re talking handcuff illegal.

OK, maybe not handcuffs, but you get my point.

The new law went into effect this year, and county-wide there is to be no setting off of fireworks after 11 pm July 5.  And don’t forget there are no fireworks allowed on New Year’s Eve, either.

So, it should be a quieter night in Salmon Creek tonight, as well as more parking at Billygan’s and Applebee’s once the fireworks tent is taken down.

US Bank Robbed!
