How many time are they going to have the re-opening ceremony? They had one when rec-ed began its summer season. Guess they mayor needed some more publicity.

It was a fun day. The fields are in great shape and the volunteers worked hard to make it enjoyable. It was just too bad that more people didn't show up to enjoy the event.
