The Charlestown Little League ball park has a new look with the help of many hard working people donating time and money to make the park look up to date and a place where you can bring your family for enjoyment.
    The Little League would like to thank all merchants for their donations and let them know the donations are truly appreciated. This past weekend (April 5) the Kiwanis Club (approximately 20) people donated time to help get the park ready and also thanks goes to Lee Slaughter and Greg Aaron for their time.
    Opening day is April 19 at approximately 10 a.m. The next week will be used for all the finishing touches. If you would like to donate your time or make a donation to the Charlestown Little League please do so. The Board members are also selling chances on a new Chevy Tahoe for $5 each. The drawing will be held in June with all the proceeds going to the Charlestown Little League. Please see any Board member to purchase your ticket.
