The latest update on the group in a small community who have tried to keep their youth summer baseball leagues continuing without the aide of the local government is a becoming a success story. A correspondent from the Associated Press spent the day in their small community and did a story on them. The story was released through the AP and there has been a great response. The story received a lot of national media attention, and now they are also being contacted to do stories in the larger metropolitan areas surrounding them. Hopefully the publicity will help them to be able to continue their leagues for years to come.

You can also see readers comments about the story by going to the "discuss story" section at the end of the story.
Their participation in the Kellogg's Plant A Seed contest hasn't been mentioned in any of the stories, but they are still staying competitive in the contest which ends May 30, 2009.
Although today was scheduled to be their opening day, the Opening day ceremonies were rained out, so they are going to try it again tomorrow. Stories like this, when a small community comes together for the sake of the children, are a sign of the true American spirit. It is also nice to see that positive things are still happening even in these rough economic times.
If you live in a small community and have a story you would like to include in this blog, please email it to us. We hope that this story will bring a smile to the faces of all who read it.
