Getting ready

Members of the Monette Youth Association are working in partnership with the City of Monette to sod the new Junior Babe Ruth ball field at the sports complex. MHA and the city each paid $1,700 for the 2,800 yards of sod for placement on the field.

Volunteers working at the field on Thursday include MYA field manager and driver David Clark, standing from left City Councilman Steve Suber, Monette Police Chief Brian Carmichael, MYA President Billy Watson, Monette patrolmen Anthony Petty, and ballplayers Tanner and Parker Watson.
