Proctorsville Baseball Restoration Project Fundraiser

On Thursday, June 21st, The Outback in Ludlow will host a fundraising event for the Greven Field Restoration Project (GFRP) to continue rebuilding the community baseball and softball fields and the family park in Proctorsville, Vermont that were destroyed by Tropical Storm Irene. The proceeds of all pizza sold at the Outback on Thursday, June 21st will support the Greven Field Restoration Project. The evening begins at 4:30 p.m. with awards presentations, pizza and at 6 p.m, a live auction of Red Sox tickets and autographed baseballs.

The highlight of the evening will be an auction of four tickets for each of two Red Sox baseball games at Fenway Park in September, 2012. The auction will also feature ten baseballs autographed by current Red Sox players including Jacoby Ellsbury and Josh Beckett.

The Greven Field Restoration Project is a community effort. We would like to thank the following local entities that have donated their time, labor and equipment:

Mike O'Neill of M&M, Rod Williams and the Okemo Valley Golf Club, Alfonso Chambers and the Cavendish Road Crew, Howard Barton and Ludlow Electric Co., Villages Painters, Terry O'Brien Painting, Diamond Realty, Freedom Hill Design, Hill-Martin Corporation, Huntley Financial Services, and HB Fuels. Cota and Cota, The Castle/Cavendish Pointe and IAVC Intelligent Audio Visual have also made generous financial contributions.

GFRP is keeping our money local by making our purchases at neighborhood businesses such as Okemo Valley Golf Club, LaValley's Building Supply, Singleton's Store, Gilcris Enterprises, Brett Bartalotta, Barco Builders, and Weathersfield Fencing.
