Our day long event will include service, a potluck meal, and base ball.
We will be rehabbing the campground's picnic tables: replacing damaged boards, scraping off peeling paint, and repainting the tables as needed.
Try to arrive by 8:30 AM. The day will start at 9:00 AM. Be dressed to get dirty. Financial donations of whatever you can afford will help to offset the cost of rehabbing the tables.
In addition we may also be constructing a platform, and a cart for five bee hives. The bee hives program is new to the campground this year.
In addition we will hold a potluck.
We ask that each player bring a dish to pass for eight people.
After we have lunch we will have a pick-up 1858 vintage ball game, picking teams from all that have come to help out, and our visitors.

Check out the give aways at this year’s Menomonie, WI VBBA conference, March 23-25.
VBBA - Vintage Base Ball Association
In case you are "on the fence" about attending the VBBA conference, maybe this will help get you to sign up/register. This year VBBA will be having some "give aways" for VBBA member clubs. Each registrant of a member club (paid as of the date of the event) will get a ticket to place in one of 5 buckets. The 5 buckets represent 5 different VBBA vendors . Pick which bucket you want to put your ticket in, and we will draw one ticket from each bucket. Each bucket is a $100 gift card, for your club, to those vendors. The vendors are Phoenix Bats, Smacker Bats, Bulldog Bats, K&P Weaver and Stockbridge Sewing. If your ticket is not drawn in one of those 5, we will take all remaining tickets and put them in ONE bucket and have some additional drawings for base balls and scorebooks. We will have 15 more drawings. 12 ticket drawings will be for 2 base balls (1 from 19cbaseball and 1 handmade ball, made by Corky Gaskell), and the final 3 drawings will be for 1860 scorebooks that you can use during your matches this year. They come complete with instructions on how to keep score. We may secure a few more items between now and then, but you get the idea.so.. when you check in on Friday night.. make sure if you are part of a MEMBER club, to get your ticket and place it in the bucket of your choice. If you dont get there until Saturday, then check in at that time. The drawings are Saturday evening.
If you are not part of a member club, well, convince your captain or manager to get with it and join ! :-)
Hope to see you in Menomonie, WI on March 23-25.
